41. 我要再次感谢那些冒着巨大风险继续在海上拯救生命的人。我感谢允许载有难民和移民的船只在其港口迅速上岸的会员国，以及在上岸后接收难民和移民的会员国。然而，我关切地看到欧洲国家仍然没有可预测的和全面的上岸协议。接受大多数通过海路抵达欧洲的难民和移民的欧洲联盟成员国，应该得到其他成员国的声援。2018 年，国际移民组织和难民署发布了关于地中海获救人员区域上岸机制的联合提案。一些欧洲联盟成员国 2019 年 9 月商定的《马耳他宣言》，以及2019 年 11 月制定从意大利和马耳他临时迁出的辅助标准作业程序，都是有希望的进展。我呼吁欧洲联盟在团结和责任的指导下，继续努力达成可信、可预测并包含所有会员国的协议。我重申，联合国系统仍有条件支持这种方法。并且，重要的是，在地中海作业的所有人道主义船只以及参与人道主义行动的商船的救生努力都得到承认，并确保取消和避免船只对上岸的任何限制和拖延。
41. I would like to reiterate my appreciation to those who continue to save lives at sea at considerable risk. I am grateful to those Member States that allow vessels with refugees and migrants to promptly disembark in their ports and to those that receive refugees and migrants following disembarkation. However, I am concerned that there is still no predictable and comprehensive disembarkation agreement among European States. The member States receiving the majority of the refugees and migrants arriving in Europe by sea deserve the solidarity of their fellow European Union countries. In 2018, IOM and UNHCR released a joint proposal for a regional disembarkation mechanism for persons rescued in the Mediterranean. The Malta Declaration, agreed by some States members of the European Union in September 2019, and the development of supporting standard operating procedures in November 2019 for ad hoc relocation exercises from Italy and Malta were promising developments. I call on the European Union to continue to work towards a credible and predictable agreement for disembarkation encompassing all member States, guided by solidarity and responsibility, and I reiterate the availability of the United Nations system to support such an approach. Furthermore, it is important to recognize the life-saving efforts of all humanitarian vessels operating in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as merchant vessels participating in humanitarian oper ations, and to ensure that any restrictions on, and delays in, disembarkation by those vessels are lifted and avoided.
