lpv:translated text	"Madam President, European governments have thus far not shown enough solidarity with the Mediterranean countries in attempting to resolve the refugee crisis. Hundreds, thousands of people have drowned over the past few months while trying to reach the shores of Europe. They were fleeing war and misery and lost their lives because of European indifference. For a long time, Europe has been divided over the multiple waves of African refugees. It is therefore imperative that we take steps to help these disillusioned, sick and starving fugitives as they reach their destination. It is imperative that we strengthen the functioning and effectiveness of Frontex. Otherwise, we shall witness new tragedies where refugees at sea are abandoned to their own devices. I hope that the common European border patrols will make a tangible difference. All Member States must take responsibility and fulfil their promises regarding financial and technical support. I salute the appointment of a special ombudsman who will ensure respect for civil rights. These immigrants are the victims of war, poverty and human evil. Refugees are a challenge for the European Union as a whole. We all have a moral duty to provide assistance in securing a safe haven for legitimate asylum seekers when an unexpected wave of immigrants exceeds the capacity of the countries at the external borders of the Union. Europe must not become a byword for indifference."@en1
