Add the following text to the CEEP:

PIRATES propose a fundamental reform of the EU-policy on refugees and asylum. The European approach must be based on the acknowledgement of human rights and fully respect the Geneva Convention on Refugees and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. All member-states should be equally willing to accept refugees and asylum-seekers according to their financial capacity. No individual member-state should be left alone with the financial, logistic and administrative burden; European solidarity is called for instead. EU-neigbourhood-policy and EU-development policy should be geared towards lasting improvement of living conditions and focus on the promotion of human rights in all partner countries and regions. We denounce all tendencies to create a repressive apparatus of survey and control in Europe.

Explanation:

The text is a slightly changed version from the German proposal on the subject. We've changed some parts ( Take a look here to compare the versions) for the following reasons:

• we'd like to withdraw from that “command” tone; expressions like must or unacceptable are too binding and it can't make it through our board in the approval process in such way

• “capacity” is a broad term; we need in this case some specification, otherwise it gives a space for own - and sometimes negative - interpretation

• last, the Frontex. It's an unkown issue in the Czech republic therefore it seems really unnecessary in the common program; plus it's only a statement - it doesn't offer solution or way; and there was even an opinion that this statement without proof or explanation might seem falsely - and though we believe you what is Frontex like, we can't afford such baseless (in the program!) statements
