ensures the quick and uncomplicated reception and accommodation of people rescued from distress at sea in addition to the distribution quota of people seeking protection:

• Trier agrees to directly receive and house people rescued from distress at sea, for example from a civilian rescue boat, similar to a relocation program. This reception is in addition to the distribution quota of asylum seekers. For this purpose, agreement is reached with the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Sports, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, and the federal state Rhineland-Palatinate.

Advocates to its own federal state and the federal government for the establishment of new or the significant expansion of existing programs for the legal admission of refugees and offers additional admission places for this purpose itself:

• Trier calls on the government of the federal state Rhineland-Palatinate to introduce an independent humanitarian reception program for refugees according to § 23 paragraph 1 AufenthG (Residence Act) and thus enable refugees to enter and stay in Germany legally.

• Trier calls on the government of the federal state Rhineland-Palatinate and the federal government to agree on a permanent and reliable basis on significantly higher admission quotas than before within the framework of the resettlement pursuant to § 23 paragraph 4 AufenthG and other programs for the legal admission of refugees. Only in this way can Germany fulfill its responsibility to spare people the flight on dangerous illegalized ways.

• Trier declares its willingness to the federal state Rhineland-Palatinate and the federal government to reliably provide additional reception places for people entering these programs.

• In addition, the city/county advocates through the state for the deletion of sentence 3 of section 23(1) of the Residence Act, which would eliminate the federal government's approval requirement for refugee admissions.

• The city / county calls for the introduction of an independent standard for municipal admission corresponding to § 23 para 1 AufenthG for independent admission by the states.
