We see all these people come to Europe and very often they are not accepted
and very often they don't get proper legal process, so we got look to external controls,
people say that we have to get to use the asylum policies properly and fight abuse.
The refugees fleeing from war and we have to welcome them on our continent,
otherwise Europe doesn't exist as a concept, as continent by a Union funded on solidarity.
We should be out in the streets, meeting citizens, shaking hands with them,
often we talk about the distance between the institutions and the people but there now
there is a distance between the people themselves and I think we can only create Europe if we return to greater unity and community.
The Commission is doing well in trying to return us to this path,
the Commission is doing well in suggesting allocation quotas for migration.
I think this is a good idea, I think we need to review Dublin."
We have got to get rid of social dumping and flouting the rules in place,
we have got to review the posting of workers directive and we have to ensure
that we do something about 'Zero hours contracts', which are shocking factor in our employment market
and we have to make sure that job are more secure.
We have to make sure that taxes are paid where revenues are generated and we have
to have a common tax base and that country by country reporting is enforced."
I think we all agree that we need to have possibilities for legal immigration to Europe
that there must be a fair position based on solidarity and that we mustn't stick with the quota arrangement
that doesn't take into account the individual requirements of people,
we need family reunification all of these things must be taken into consideration.
And we take you at your word that the implementation of the International Geneva convention and
the personal right to asylum is not something we will back paddle on, we will be sticking up for these values."
It is a defeat for us if we can't deal with this migration crisis,
a year ago the Pope said in this chamber, that Europe had a huge responsibility to try to deal
with the causes of conflict and to act, you are quite right Mr Juncker and you are saying this last spring.
The proposals that you have put forward here have sketch out a roadmap for us to follow
and you are quite right we do need quotas in bringing migrants into Europe
and yes we need to have legal channels that is the only way to end this trafficking
which ends in death, which is perpetrated by these traffickers.
Here we are together in this Parliament; it's only 50 days a year that we are here, all our offices are empty,
they have heating, they have showers that are not used, why don't we use this secondary residence of the EP
which is fully fitted out to bring in migrants and refugees,
we could perfectly well have our hemicycle in BXLs for our plenary sessions for the interim period to be defined,
that colleagues is a specific concrete proposal which would enable our assembly
to show that it truly was able to make actions reflect words and
truly subscribed to the principles of solidarity and Human dignity.
