Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Acknowledges the mobilisation of significant budgetary means spread over 2015 and 2016 to address the migration and refugee, crisis both internally within the Union and externally in refugees’ countries of origin; stresses, however, that substantial additional financial means are required to address this crisis, as the increase in numbers of refugees and migrants cannot be considered a temporary phenomenon; highlights that longer-term solutions should be sought, not only in the annual budgetary procedure, but also in the upcoming interim revision of the MFF; underlines in this light that solidarity is an underlying principle of the EU budget; is concerned that in the refugee crisis, solidarity appears in an uneven way across Member States; reiterates the call for the Commission to come up with a proposal on how the EU budget can prompt Member States towards a more balanced approach to solidarity;
