This week I also voted on Parliament’s position on a new EU Asylum System.

It’s a mixed bag of laws, 1 of which I had the honor to negotiate: the Crisis Regulation.

Even though I actively influenced it over 3 years, I decided to abstain on the law.

While I am determined to help the people in need & the countries at our borders, the tools we chose do matter.
