As the refugee crisis in Europe worsens, new political divisions have emerged across the continent with several member states trading blame on how to cope with the swelling numbers of people arriving from war-torn countries. We have hard divisions within Europe on internal policies, and I have warned not only interior ministers but leaders of European member states that this is weakening our unity and our credibility in our external actions Federica Mogherini, EU foreign policy chief Germany, which hosts the largest number of refugees, has been hailed as a model for the rest of Europe after offering to take in 800,000 asylum seekers. Cheering crowds have greeted refugees in cities and towns, as buses teeming with tired men, women and children have been welcomed by locals. In other cou...

EXTRACTS from the transcript - "(On France invoking the Mutual defence clause - article 42.7) The fact that France decided to invoke the use of article 42.7 was something we discussed just in the hours after the attack in Paris last year, and it was an important political step, because for the first time a member state uses an article of the treaty that has some obligations for the other member states of assistance and aid, not only a military one, but also a logistical support or other kinds of support that bilaterally m...

"The refugee crisis we are facing puts our deepest values – even our identity – to test. It is a moment of truth: it will show if we really are European, and if we really are a Union. That’s it. Our responsibility to protect human life and human rights. Solidarity, among Member states and towards those who are most in need. But this is also a test for our international credibility. Don’t think we can sponsor human rights around the world, if we don’t guarantee the highest asylum standards inside our Union. Don’t think, don’t even imagine that we can promote cooperation among parties that are at war in this moment, if we don’t accept “the other” inside our own communities and if we don’t manage to find unity among ourselves."
