"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I might just as well say that we need a policy at the European level and stop there, since we have already said everything.
We agree with the proposals for the future and the initiatives taken over recent months by Vice-President Frattini on the issue of illegal immigration, asylum policy and combating illegal immigration trafficking. We are, however, very concerned to learn that, at the Council, Italy, France and Spain have decided to be represented not by their ministers for home affairs but by other ministers, whereas this should have been a major concern for the ministers at the highest level.
As an MEP I intend to bring pressure to bear on the Council, because the image of the torrent of migrants assaulting the enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla symbolises our future demographic and political relationship. As an MEP, I will also denounce the manipulation of the truth which took place during the visit by the delegation from the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs to the Lampedusa centre and the shameful conduct revealed by the journalists’ investigative reports.
My friends at the Commission, you will have Parliament’s support if you proceed more swiftly. There is no such thing as a pause for reflection when it comes to immigration to Europe. Time is pressing and politicians have the duty to take steps in relation to people’s needs and the urgency of their need."@en1
