Amendment 137 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) The Union Resettlement Framework should be based on humanitarian needs, contribute to meeting the global resettlement needs and alleviate protracted refugee situations. It should be conform to already existing structures for resettlement, notably the Annual Tripartite Consultations on Resettlement (ATCR), with the aim of gradually scaling up Member States' collective resettlement efforts to reach at least 15% of the global resettlement needs as outlined in UNHCRs annual projected global resettlement needs. These efforts should be combined with efforts to establish international binding rules regarding the shared worldwide responsibility to resettle all persons in need of resettlement as indicated by the UNHCR.

Amendment 189 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) Any personal data collected for the purpose of the resettlement procedure should be stored in Eurodac for a maximum period of five years from the date of resettlement. Given that third- country nationals or stateless persons who have already been resettled by one Member State or who during the last five years refused to resettle to a Member State should be excluded from resettlement to another Member State, that period should be considered a necessary period for the storage of personal details, including fingerprints and facial images.

Amendment 241 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 31
(31) This Regulation does not affect the ability of the Member States to adopt or implement national resettlement schemes, which do not jeopardise the attainment of the Union’s objectives under this Regulation, for example where they contribute an additional number of resettlement places to targeted Union resettlement schemes established under this Regulation going beyond their contribution to the maximum number of persons to be resettled under the annual Union resettlement plan. Resettlement under national schemes should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States under the Union's Resettlement framework.

Amendment 454 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 8 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Where the combined voluntary participation of all Member States do not add up to 75% of the maximum total number of persons to be resettled, the Commission shall present to the Council a proposal making the targeted Union resettlement schemes binding on all Member States with the goal of reaching at least that percentage. The distribution of the total number of persons to be resettled among the Member States shall be based on the reference key pursuant to Regulation (EU) No XXX/XXX [Dublin Regulation]. With the establishment of the total number to be resettled per Member State, the amount already resettled to that Member State shall be taken into account. The proposal shall be adopted by the Council with a qualified majority vote.
