Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Cecilia Malmström, Commissioner for Home Affairs, Andris Piebalgs, Commissioner for
Development, and Kristalina Georgieva, Commissioner for International Cooperation,
Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, made today the following statement:
“Today is World Refugee Day: a day of growing concern for the international community as the
number of displaced people around the world soars to a dramatic new high. We can count the number
of refugees – more than 46 million, according to the U" High Commissioner for Refugees – but we
cannot quantify the human suffering, the broken families, destroyed childhoods and livelihoods that
come with fleeing a war or a disaster.

Remarks by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton before her meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu
Thank you. Prime Minister. Can I just say what a great pleasure it is to see you, to be back in Jerusalem, back in this great nation, to say first of all that I'm fully supportive of the work that Secretary Kerry is undertaking. I know he's travelled many times already to talk with you, to talk with President Abbas. And as I've made clear, I'm fully supportive of his work. I said this in Ramallah last night, I say it here in Jerusalem, that we want this to be the way forward, to bring direct negotiations, and Europe will support that wholeheartedly. It is, as you rightly indicate, the way forward.
