There is also the troubling prospect that such a showy initiative would, by creating the impression that the EU is taking action, enable the EU and its members to avoid the long-term commitment and politically unpopular measures that an effective crisis response would demand. And, indeed, the EU has so far been focusing on a largely symbolic measure: the proposed EU-wide relocation and resettlement system for asylum seekers.
此外令人不安的是如此华而不实的举措将给人留下欧盟正在行动的印象，从而使欧盟及其成员国逃避有效应对危机所需的长期承诺和政治上不受欢迎的措施。事实上，欧盟到目前为止一直专注于采取象征性举措：即为庇护寻求者提供拟议中的欧盟全境定居安置。
