We have wasted two years because of the inability or disinterest of the European Council in cooperating towards the implementation of a sustainable European programme for refugees. I note with regret that this is not the only debate of this session addressing the lack of cooperation and action on the part of the Council. In this case, there is a risk that if we do not find a solution by the end of the year, the use of the European Refugee Fund, which is due to expire in 2013, will be under threat.
I wish to draw the Council’s attention to the fact that its failure to apply the emergency mechanism provided for in the codecision procedure, as proposed by Parliament, has already had a major negative impact, given that the EU is facing, particularly this year, wave after wave of refugees following the regime changes in Arab countries. Of the estimated 200 000 refugees to be resettled in third countries each year, half are received by countries on the American continent, while in the EU only 10 states are involved, taking only 4 500 refugees each year."@en1
