"Mr President, I welcome the presence here today of the First Vice-President and the Commissioner, as well as the Commission proposal to maintain the basic principles of Dublin. This is essential if we are going to combat irregular economic migration, sending a strong signal to human traffickers and allowing us to grant asylum to the most vulnerable.
As you are aware, my political group has always had serious reservations about a compulsory relocation scheme. It has had little success. Rarely does forcing someone to do something result in improved relations between the parties and the payment system suggestion of a fine of EUR 250 000 per individual who is not being relocated seems like a punishment for Member States, rather than a credible alternative.
I welcome the strengthening of important instruments such EASO and Eurodac. I believe that looking at how we can enhance what we already have, rather than reinventing the wheel, will always be the most effective way forward. But despite all this, my main message here today is a simple one. These revisions, these proposals, these enhancements will only work if we all stick to the rule book.
Commissioner, your institution is there to oversee compliance with the Treaties and with our laws, and what I have seen over the last 12 months is Member States believing they are all above the laws rather than pursuing the laws that they have negotiated and adopted. If we are creating real solidarity in a truly effective area of asylum, then the rules must be followed. This Parliament must not just be a talking shop, but a venue for building credible and effective solutions to gain back the trust and the confidence of the electorate."@en1
