lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, how much longer are we going to ask Tunisians indirectly to bear the dramatic consequences of our poor management of aid to the refugees? The solidarity shown by Tunisian society is crumbling. We can no longer remain indifferent to the health situation and the new outbreaks of diseases in the camps. It has to be recognised that we, the European Union, have failed on several points: an inhumane migration policy; shameful humanitarian aid measures to tackle the huge needs on the ground; a lack of European solidarity, calling into question the very foundations of Europe. How do we, as European defenders of human rights, see ourselves? What support is the European Union talking about when it addresses people who have, today, effected their democratic revolution? We have the resources to help these refugees but, if there is no political will or tangible force, the Mediterranean will remain a cemetery. Is this acceptable? Can we continue in this way? We must reconsider the issue of the refugees and migration on the basis of a human rights approach taking into account the new political situations. The security approach and the ‘dusting’ carried out by the Frontex Agency are no match for our high standards and values. In the short, medium and long term, the financial assistance given by the European Union must be directed at strengthening the capacities of civil society in Tunisia, in particular, and in the countries of the south more generally. I should like to conclude by stressing that the immigrants of today are resources and not a burden. Am I not an example? Yesterday an immigrant, today a Member of the European Parliament."@en1
