1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,120
I'm from Luxembourg and I was a minister for many things for education

2
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,620
research culture public works religion I was in the European Parliament one term

3
00:00:16,620 --> 00:00:24,120
and I was president of the Luxembourg Parliament well first thing that Europe

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:33,240
has missed Europe has set up in 2004 an agency called Frontex that was meant to

5
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,880
take care of those people who were both people and who are bought from Africa by

6
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:48,060
illegal persons and to control the borders the borders of Europe the outside

7
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:56,580
border should be controlled by the EU by this agency Frontex we are not capable

8
00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:04,320
to do it now because there is such a big rush of migrants and refugees and we

9
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,860
have to make a difference between migrants and refugees refugees have a legal

10
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:19,240
status according to Geneva Convention and as people are mixed up so the

11
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,660
controlling at the outside borders is very difficult for the administration of the

12
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:32,100
countries but I think in this sense there could be a change if it was done in

13
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:40,980
common so look at the outside borders and have care for people coming in and have

14
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:50,660
care from people staying outside so we could have camps outside of the outside

15
00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:59,280
borders of the EU instead of leaving the people to countries like Turkey Jordan and

16
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:14,820
also Lebanon that's one thing but so many problems at the origin of this migration are situated in

17
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:22,200
development in climate change we will have many more refugees from climate change from

18
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:29,280
all these countries being flooded by the climate change and so we have to

19
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:38,900
be prepared to make a better distribution among the European Union and among the

20
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:44,520
member states and their solidarity is lacking for the moment I think it's not

21
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:56,340
basically the refusal of the people but it's the lack of capacity of handling the

22
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:08,960
of a flux of these people and so what is happening in the country sometimes people are staying one two three

23
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:17,300
years in retention camps that are not prisons but nearly like prisons in order to have

24
00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:24,960
their administrative problems settled that's unacceptable so we have also to deal

25
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,960
with this problem
