"Mr President, the whole of Europe has been in crisis since September 2009 when the Commission’s Communication launched the idea of setting up a resettlement fund for refugees. It is all the more fitting, therefore, to acknowledge and celebrate this successful institutional cooperation. It has involved the Swedish Presidency, under which the proposal was put forward, the Danish Presidency, under which it is now being completed, the work of the Commission, and, of course, the perseverance of the European Parliament, which has been the driving force behind this report from the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, which I chair. I want to commend it, as I also want to commend the persistence of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in drawing attention to the fact that the European Union is a union of values, and it sends out a positive message, not only to the countries of southern rim of the Mediterranean, but also to those on the eastern Eurasian border of the European Union, saying that we are committed to protecting refugees fleeing persecution in their countries of origin, or to those who are taking another complementary protection status, and who cannot, however, be taken in by the first country of entry. This is the purpose of this fund, and furthermore, it has been achieved without being delayed by the already drawn out legal discussions on the procedure, the delegated acts, and also the legal basis itself. I am pleased to announce that the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs has unanimously supported the adoption of Article 80 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as the legal basis, which invites us to base everything on the principle of solidarity. I am also pleased to say that the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs not only voted almost unanimously to adopt this report, but also paid tribute to the memory of Ms Pasquetti, who worked for the European Commission, and to offer condolences and acknowledgement of her contribution, given that she passed away prior to the completion of this work."@en1
