Merkel: The Frontex to act autonomously in the last case
In the "right direction" move the European Commission proposals for strengthening the protection of the EU's external border, said German Chancellor Angela Merkel and noted that the scope of these proposals one could not be imagined a year ago .
He predicted, however, that at tomorrow's European Council will not be a final solution to the issue, and stressed that the distribution of refugees is delayed because there are ready «Hot spots».
"We will insist be applied consistently decisions already taken. This is especially true for the creation of "Hot spots" in Italy and Greece to return to coordinates conditions at the external borders of the European Union. This concerns the taken decision on allocation of 160,000 refugees from Italy and Greece, which progresses very slowly, because condition is certainly the "Hot spots" », said Ms. Merkel speaking at the Federal Parliament in view of tomorrow's European Council and stated that "only if there is not only the recording but also the return of the distribution, can a" Hot spot "be considered functional."
Referring to the Commission's proposals for the external borders, the Chancellor said that it is "important proposals that are not only moving in the right direction, but in the range one could not even imagine them a year ago."
The issue, he said, is to give to Frontex more responsibility to be able to last that it works autonomously, be made available to the EU at the European level of border guards and equipment to be used flexibly in the Member States and given to Frontex a greater role the necessary returns of refugees, who are not entitled to protection in the European Union.
Ms. Merkel also acknowledged that the border guard touches very important national sovereignty issues. "We should certainly we weigh very carefully what measures may in the future and at what level to be accepted. But I find encouraging and important that the debate in this field has evolved. And that is why the European Council will endorse the proposals being submitted to consultation and decision as soon as possible, "said German chancellor, adding:
"I know it is a long and difficult issue and certainly the European Council will not bring a final solution, but the history of the EU shows that patience and perseverance are worthwhile. It is in everyone's interest to reduce the number of refugees. It is in the interests of the refugees themselves. "
In order to achieve a reduction in the number of refugees arriving in Europe, key is to fight the causes of the exodus of people, said Ms. Merkel and reported extensively on long-term cooperation with Turkey, which he called "partner-key 'for European Union.
"Right now is the most important transit country to Europe. It hosts more than two million refugees. We are committed to allocate three billion euros and I am grateful to Wolfgang Schäuble launched the negotiations for how we can achieve this and I hope we will. We want to put this money to improve the situation for refugees in Turkey and combat this the refugee causes. Because the better the situation for refugees in Turkey, the less you feel the need to start the journey to Europe, "he said and explained that" in return expect Turkey better guarding the borders to the EU more coherent maritime Rescue at Sea and more efficient fight against trafficking of refugees. "
Through cooperation with Turkey will become possible to create legal migration opportunities, eg through quota, added the Chancellor and expressed its gratitude to the European Commission submitted so fast its proposals.
