Proposal for a decision
Recital 4
(4) The EU Heads of State or (4) Government agreed, who have no formal co- legislative powers, agreed through a "statement" on 7 March to work on the basis of a series of principles for an agreement with Turkey, including to resettle, for every Syrian readmitted by Turkey from Greek islands, another Syrian from Turkey to the Member States, within the framework of the existing commitments. Those principles were further developed in the Commission's Communication on next operational steps in EU-Turkey cooperation in the field of migration12 which called for taking the necessary steps to transfer some of the commitments under the existing relocation decisions, notably all or part of the currently unallocated 54 000 places, to the so called 1:1 scheme. _________________ 12Under such a 1:1 scheme, the protection of persons fleeing war and persecution is not guaranteed. The right to seek asylum and the principle of non- refoulement enshrined in Union law, in the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951 and in the Protocol of 31 January 1967 relating to the status of refugees are the centrepiece of Union and international refugee protection. They should not be undermined by a statement of the EU Heads of State or Government on cooperation with Turkey. COM(2016)166 final.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 7
(7) The commitments that Member States undertook as part of the resettlement scheme agreed in the Conclusions of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting within the Council of 20 July 2015 should not be affected by this Decision and should not count towards meeting the obligations under Decision 2015/1601. Therefore, a Member State which chooses to meet its obligations under Decision (EU) 2015/1601 by admitting Syrians present in Turkey through resettlement, cannot count this effort as constituting part of its commitment under the 20 July 2015 resettlement scheme. Member States should urgently comply with their resettlement commitments.
