"Mr President, last Thursday, a vessel from Turkey ran aground: 61 people, including 31 children, drowned. Most of them were Syrian refugees. The following night, a vessel sank close to Lampedusa, resulting in the deaths of several dozen people from Tunisia. Each new shipwreck adds to the macabre head count of the thousands of deaths already recorded in the Mediterranean. One has to question the responsibilities of the European Union and its obligations concerning rescue at sea. These people are fleeing war and poverty, but they are also faced with ever more perilous routes due to the obsession with security that characterises our migration policy. I call on the Commission to propose guidelines, as the recent decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union required it to do, concerning rescue at sea. I also call on the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex), which has developed a new human rights strategy, to implement it effectively in order to ensure the security of migrants. This is a humanitarian emergency."@en1
