"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to speak about a serious incident that took place only a few hours ago: 18 emigrants have drowned while heading for the Canary Islands, and another two emigrants were found dead this morning at the Melilla fence, between Morocco and Spain. According to a statement made by a representative of the Melilla Government, the two people would appear to have been shot dead. We, in this House, have already previously denounced the Spanish civil guard's use of firearms on immigrants. The Spanish daily claims that handguns have been used in an intimidatory fashion to deter immigrants who wanted to cross the Melilla border. Mr President, we believe that all of this is very serious and we would ask you whether it is possible for the Bureau to ascertain the truth of these claims, with a view to determining whether it is true that the Spanish civil guard has used firearms to prevent immigrants from being able to climb over the Melilla fence. We feel that all of this is very serious and we believe that the European Parliament should urgently intervene on this matter, with a view to preventing further deaths at the border between Morocco and Spain."@en1
