lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, first of all, when I hear some – not all – of my colleagues who are taking part in this debate, they refer to migration as something which is not currently taking place, but as something which is going to take place. A human tragedy is actually taking place as we speak in this House. In many cases, we are talking about whether we agree or disagree, but one thing that we should be in agreement about is that this tragedy, which is on our doorstep – a few hundred kilometres from the European Union’s southern frontier – is taking place right now, and will continue to grow. Yet we continue to debate, even when there is a tool – Council Directive 2001/55/EC – which, on a recommendation from the Commission, can be set in motion by the Council. How are we going to measure whether the influx is high, not high or high enough when it is all over? The European Union has to decide whether it wants to act or react. We react when things have already occurred. Let us not be the man of yesterday. Let us be today’s institution."@en1
