MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- European countries need to find a systematic1 and European response to the refugee crisis, German Defense2 Minister Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen said here on Friday.
Speaking to top diplomats3 from around the world at the 52nd Munich Security Conference (MSC) here, Leyen called for joint4 efforts to make Europe a crisis proof continent.
People are still drowning in the Mediterranean5 sea and the Schengen Agreement is in danger of falling apart, Leyen maintained.
German official calls for European response to refugee crisis at MSC
Help should be extended to the refugees who have reached Europe because it is a humanitarian6 duty and international law, Leyen said and added that the influx7 of refugees must be reduced due to the limit of resources.
Leyen called on European countries to find an internal European distribution mechanism8, a common asylum9 policy and consistent control measures.
The countries along the external borders of the EU will be put into a dilemma10 unless these measures are put into place, she argued.
Leyen spoke11 highly of the so-called transit12 countries that have taken millions of refugees in the last couple of years. "Europe understands better what this means."
Leyen said refugees will return to Syria, which will have a cease-fire in the future. It is necessary to train the refugees because they will be needed to rebuild their country, which will take a long time, she asserted.
