Expression of foreign pathways often results in suboptimal performance due to unintended factors such as introduction of toxic metabolites, cofactor imbalances or poor expression of pathway components.
Britain's Foreign Office minister, Joyce Anelay, explained that search and rescue creates "an unintended 'pull factor,' encouraging more migrants".
The British government has refused to give more support, arguing search and rescue missions create "an unintended 'pull factor'" for migrants.
Confirming the UK's withdrawal, the new Foreign Office minister, Lady Anelay, highlighted an "unintended pull factor"' of search and rescue: "that it encourages more migrants to attempt the dangerous sea crossing, thereby leading to more tragic and unnecessary deaths".
As the Foreign Office minister Baroness Anelay puts it, the very efficiency of Italy's search-and-rescue programme seems to have created "an unintended 'pull factor'?", encouraging far more people to attempt the crossing.
Yet in justifying the decision to drop the excellent Italian operation, a UK foreign office minister referred to it as an "unintended pull factor" that, by encouraging those on the shores of Libya to think the voyage less risky, had led to "more tragic and unnecessary deaths".
In October the government axed funding for search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean to avoid what Foreign Office minister Lady Anelay called an "unintended pull factor".
That's the same amount Italy used to spend on its Mare Nostrum migrant search and rescue operation, which ended in fall 2014 due to financial constraints and concerns the mission created an unintended "pull factor" for migrants.
The United Kingdom, for its part, has refused to support any such operations, citing what Joyce Anelay, the British Foreign Office minister, called "an unintended 'pull factor'" for migrants that would cause more deaths.
