00:00.000 --> 00:09.120
I'm from Luxembourg and I was a minister for many things for education

00:09.120 --> 00:16.620
research culture public works religion I was in the European Parliament one term

00:16.620 --> 00:24.120
and I was president of the Luxembourg Parliament well first thing that Europe

00:24.120 --> 00:33.240
has missed Europe has set up in 2004 an agency called Frontex that was meant to

00:33.240 --> 00:38.880
take care of those people who were both people and who are bought from Africa by

00:38.880 --> 00:48.060
illegal persons and to control the borders the borders of Europe the outside

00:48.060 --> 00:56.580
border should be controlled by the EU by this agency Frontex we are not capable

00:56.580 --> 01:04.320
to do it now because there is such a big rush of migrants and refugees and we

01:04.320 --> 01:10.860
have to make a difference between migrants and refugees refugees have a legal

01:10.860 --> 01:19.240
status according to Geneva Convention and as people are mixed up so the

01:19.240 --> 01:24.660
controlling at the outside borders is very difficult for the administration of the

01:24.660 --> 01:32.100
countries but I think in this sense there could be a change if it was done in

01:32.100 --> 01:40.980
common so look at the outside borders and have care for people coming in and have

01:40.980 --> 01:50.660
care from people staying outside so we could have camps outside of the outside

01:50.660 --> 01:59.280
borders of the EU instead of leaving the people to countries like Turkey Jordan and

01:59.280 --> 02:14.820
also Lebanon that's one thing but so many problems at the origin of this migration are situated in

02:14.820 --> 02:22.200
development in climate change we will have many more refugees from climate change from

02:22.200 --> 02:29.280
all these countries being flooded by the climate change and so we have to

02:29.280 --> 02:38.900
be prepared to make a better distribution among the European Union and among the

02:38.900 --> 02:44.520
member states and their solidarity is lacking for the moment I think it's not

02:44.520 --> 02:56.340
basically the refusal of the people but it's the lack of capacity of handling the

02:56.340 --> 03:08.960
of a flux of these people and so what is happening in the country sometimes people are staying one two three

03:08.960 --> 03:17.300
years in retention camps that are not prisons but nearly like prisons in order to have

03:17.300 --> 03:24.960
their administrative problems settled that's unacceptable so we have also to deal

03:24.960 --> 03:28.960
with this problem
