Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 a (new) (1a) It is necessary to adopt an integrated approach regarding questions arising from the pressure of migration and asylum applications and regarding the management of EU external borders, providing sufficient funding and back-up resources to deal with emergency situations, while showing respect for human rights, solidarity amongst all Member States and awareness of respecting national responsibilities and ensuring a clear definition of tasks.
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) It is necessary to develop closer synergies between the different funds and programmes. Simpler fund management procedures, together with cross-financing options, should facilitate the allocation of more funds to common objectives. Containment of the total number of home affairs budgetary instruments within a two-pillar structure, under shared management where possible, could contribute significantly to increased simplification, rationalisation, consolidation and transparency of current funds and programmes. At the same time, it is important not to confuse the various home affairs policy objectives.

They should not be intended to support actions directly development-oriented and they should complement, when appropriate, the financial assistance provided through external aid instruments. Coherence will also be ensured with the Union humanitarian policy, in particular as regards the implementation of emergency assistance. To that end, an ad hoc working group should be set up within the Commission so as to ensure optimum coordination between the various European services and stakeholders.

Many activities governed by the specific regulations will be implemented under joint management and Member States must abstain from adding additional rules which would make it harder for beneficiaries to make use of the funds.

Measures funded under the specific regulations shall be aligned and coordinated with other actions outside the Union, including those supported through its geographic and thematic external assistance instruments. The measures shall comply fully with the principles and general objectives of the Union’s external action and its external policy regarding the region or country in question. This shall be achieved through a coordination process as laid down in Article 6a.
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 6 a (new) Article 6 a Coordination of actions in or concerning third countries 1. A working group shall be set up by the Commission to ensure optimal coordination between the various European services and stakeholders, including the relevant Union agencies and the European External Action Service with regard to actions in and concerning third countries. If necessary, international and civil society organisations such as non-governmental organisations or the social partners may also take part in the working group. 2. The activities carried out in third countries shall only come under specific regulations after consultation with the working group, which shall issue recommendations in the light of the following criteria: a) the measures concerned must not support directly development-oriented actions as defined by the OECD’s Committee on Development Assistance; b) the measures must be part of a short and possibly medium-term approach depending on the nature of the actions and priorities; c) the measures must essentially serve the interests of the Union with a direct impact on the Union and its Member States and provide the necessary continuity with activities undertaken on Union territory; d) the measures must be in full coherence with the principles and general objectives of the Union’s external action towards the region or country in question.
Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 13 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2 In case of actions to be implemented in and in relation to third countries, such actions shall not be directly development oriented and the policy dialogue shall seek full coherence with the principles and general objectives of the Union external action and foreign policy as regards the country or region concerned.

LIBE
26 amendments...
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas the European Union has committed itself to completing the establishment of a Common European Asylum System (CEAS) in 2012; however the race against time which has been embarked upon in order to meet this commitment should not in any way jeopardise the quality of this system;
Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A bis (new) Aa. whereas solidarity must go hand in hand with responsibility; Member States must ensure that their asylum systems are able to meet the standards laid down in international and European law, in particular the Geneva Convention on Refugees of 1951, the European Convention on Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union;

Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 bis (new) 10a. Notes that the impact of EASO will depend on the willingness of Member States to make use of the opportunities it affords and on their determination to engage in such collaboration; stresses that it is therefore essential for procedures to be put in place to facilitate the secondment of officials to Member States under particular pressure in asylum matters and to promote the creation of teams of experts, social workers and interpreters who could be mobilised rapidly in a crisis;
Amendment 42 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Recalls the need for EASO to provide technical support and specific expertise to Member States when implementing the asylum legislation, and to identify potential shortcomings in Member States’ asylum systems; this evaluation should be carried out in cooperation with civil society and the UN Refugee Agency;

Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 21. Considers that the Dublin Regulation, which governs the allocation of responsibility for asylum applications, while placing a disproportionate burden on Member States constituting entry points into the EU, does not provide the means for them to respond adequately to the administrative and financial demands involved; notes that, in the current context of very divergent national asylum systems, the Dublin system as it has been applied so far has led to the unequal treatment of asylum seekers across the EU while also having an adverse impact on family reunification and integration; stresses, moreover, its shortcomings in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness, since more than half of agreed transfers never take place and multiple applications are still the rule;
Amendment 103 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 26 a (new) 26 a. Emphasises that joint processing should offer added value with respect to the quality of the decision-making process, ensuring and facilitating fair, efficient and rapid procedures; underlines the fact that improving asylum procedures from the outset (frontloading) can reduce the length and cost of the procedure, therefore benefiting both asylum seekers and Member States;
