lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, although I fully support the conclusions of the extraordinary European Summit in Brussels, I can only condemn the amount of time it is taking Europe to make a practical response to terrorism top priority. It took thousands of deaths for us to be able to come to an agreement on establishing the European search and arrest warrant; it took thousands of innocent victims for us to be able to agree on defining a common strategy to combat terrorism. Only now is the Union being called upon to participate more actively in the prevention and stabilisation of regional conflicts. Where was Europe – we wonder – when the Mediterranean sea was seen as the border between two opposing worlds, between Islamic fundamentalism and religious tolerance? Will the Union please realise, at last, that we can only define a European security and defence policy if we take the Mediterranean as our starting point. I live on the farthest edge of European territory in the Mediterranean, just a few metres away from the most advanced NATO base – the Sigonella base – and a few minutes away from the Middle East by ‘plane. I know how willing the moderate Arab and Muslim world is to cooperate; I met the mayor of Jerusalem and the mayor of Gaza last year. Well then, I am convinced that it is now up to Europe genuinely to start to turn what have hitherto just been good intentions into practical action."@en1
