8.7. Решение за започване на междуинституционални преговори: Управление на убежището и миграцията и изменение на Директива 2003/109/ЕО на Съвета и на предложения Регламент (ЕС) XXX/XXX [фонд „Убежище и миграция“] (A9-0152/2023 - Tomas Tobé) (гласуване)

– Before the vote:

  Tomas Tobé, rapporteur. – Madam President, colleagues, Europe has faced migration crisis after migration crisis, and after years of political deadlock we now have a historic possibility to move forward. Most of us understand that if we have a common border, we also need more common migration policy. We need to build trust between the Member States and also among citizens in Europe.

I would like to thank the Shadows for what we have achieved, and I would like to urge all colleagues from all political groups – also within ECR and ID – to support this mandate so we can send a strong signal to the Council that we are ready.

  Charlie Weimers (ECR). – Madam President, dear colleagues, this proposed pact is not equipped to deal with today’s migratory pressure, let alone higher numbers of future arrivals. By working with the left, Mr Tobé’s report removes instruments necessary to combat illegal migration, retains forced solidarity and reinforces pull factors. Don’t take my word for it: Swedish Greens celebrated the inclusion of their ‘broader concept of family reunification’ and the removal of aid becoming conditional on reducing migration. This pact’s solution is to force Member States to accept migrants against their will.

Dear colleagues, either we embrace mass migration or reject this deal. That is the choice. In Scandinavia there is a new normal: liberals, the centre—right and conservatives work together to deliver durable migration policies.

Dear colleagues from the EPP and Renew: yes, it is true, we do not accept migrant quotas dictated from Brussels, but we stand here with our hands outstretched, ready to cooperate on delivering future—proof solutions. We need to secure the external borders, utilise the external dimension to prevent and disincentivise illegal migration and relocate the entire asylum system to third—country reception centres.

Madam President, dear colleagues, Europe’s future is at stake. Vote no!
