Resolution accepted at the 9th EGP Council meeting, Montreuil, Paris, France, October 9-12, 2008

The European Green Party gathered in Paris supports the recommendations of the Jean Lambert report, in particular the concept of responsibility sharing by the 27 countries of the EU and a revision of the Dublin Convention to ensure that Malta and its people do not continue carrying the disproportionate weight they are carrying at the moment in the examination of applications of asylum seekers.

Considering

Asylum seekers

- that Tuesday, September 2, 2008, the European Parliament approved Green MEP Jean Lambert report on asylum seekers and thre Dublin regulations by 603 votes in favour, 53 against and 30 abstentions.

- that through this vote, the European Parliament has called on the Commission to come up with ways to help smaller member states like Malta on the periphery of the EU to cope with the adverse affects of regulations on asylum seekers.

- that the European Commission is considering European burden-sharing mechanisms, but the Parliament insisted that non-financial mechanisms should also be found in the meantime.

The European Green Party gathered in Paris supports the recommendations of the Jean Lambert report, in particular the concept of responsibility sharing by the 27 countries of the EU and a revision of the Dublin Convention to ensure that Malta and its people do not continue carrying the disproportionate weight they are carrying at the moment in the examination of applications of asylum seekers.

The EGP is committed to driving climate action towards climate neutrality -- in line with the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global temperature rise to 1.5C.

2021 New Year's Reception as a gift of culture
Body:

On Wednesday 27 January, members and friends of the European Green Party convened for a virtual New Year's Reception. Traditionally organised in Brussels and gathering mostly local supporters, this year we hosted our Green family from all over Europe. The reception was an opportunity to take stock of the year 2020 in all its unprecedented ways, but also celebrate our green successes. Our host was the talented Polish activist Michał Suchora who navigated through our virtual event taking place in both Brussels and Warsaw.
