Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) The relocation programme is not proceeding satisfactorily. According to the Commission progress reports on the relocation mechanism, the numbers of persons actually relocated as at 13 May 2016 stood at 909 (out of a total of 63 302) from Greece and 591 (out of a total of 34 953) from Italy.

Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) The agreement between the Union and Turkey has proved particularly effective and served largely to contain migration in the Aegean Sea region, this being the reason for the sharp fall in the number of arrivals in Greece. Precisely because of the success of the agreement, refugees might use new routes, in particular the central Mediterranean route to Italy, concerning which the UNHCR reports a 42.5% increase in migrants arriving via Libya compared with the corresponding period in 2015. The number of places required in order to relocate asylum-seekers in Italy is therefore likely to remain high.

Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 5
(5) Resettlement, humanitarian admission, or other forms of legal admission from Turkey under national and multilateral schemes can be expected to relieve the migratory pressure on Member States which are beneficiaries of relocation under Decision (EU) 2015/1601, and on Greece in particular, by providing a legal and safe pathway to enter the Union and by discouraging irregular entries. Therefore, the solidarity efforts of Member States consisting in admitting to their territory Syrian nationals present in Turkey who are in clear need of international protection should be taken into account in relation to the 54 000 applicants for international protection referred to above. The number of persons so admitted from Turkey by a Member State should be deducted from the number of persons to be relocated to that Member State under Decision (EU) 2015/1601 in relation to those 54 000 applicantsonly to the 41 236 applicants who should have been relocated from Greece.

Article 4 – paragraph 3 a – subparagraph 1
