"Mr President, this morning, I talked to Mr Fitto on the telephone. He was a Member of the European Parliament, an Italian like me, who left us to become the Chairman of the regional council of Apulia in Italy. Naturally
he is very interested in matters concerning
the crowds of immigrants
which flood into his region, Apulia, which is opposite Albania and into which huge numbers of Albanian immigrants have come. He shouted at me down the telephone, saying, “But is it only now that you are doing something to help the States and regions which are flooded with crowds of immigrants? Why didn't you take action a year, two years ago, at the time of the crisis? You are late, very late!” In my opinion, he was right to tell me off, rather than the European Parliament, because, in effect, I would like – and I am calling for this now – the European Parliament to have the power to take swift action in these situations, not to wait two years to do anything."@en1
