lpv:translated text	"Mr President, on Europe’s southern periphery on the other side of the Mediterranean, there is a strategically important but dangerous region of the world, in North Africa. The Romans called the Mediterranean . Churchill described it as the soft underbelly of Europe. This very clearly shows the extent to which we are dependent on this region. Libya has always occupied a key position in this region: as an energy partner, as a cultural, economic and geopolitical partner, and, not least, as a migration hub into the European Union. That being the case, we are relying on the new governance structures emerging in that country to be stable and democratic, so that we engage in good cooperation with them in all fields. For that reason, we must do our utmost to ensure that Libya’s fledgling democracy is established on a firm footing and assist it to develop an efficient system of governance and administration so that this young state can perform its functions effectively. As regards immigration, one priority to keep this in check so that we do not have uncontrollable flows. On the other hand, we must ensure that these people are treated in a manner which is line with human dignity, that they enjoy their fundamental rights, and that Libya ratifies and can actually apply the international conventions which are essential for this purpose. This is not only a task for the democratic parties in Libya. It is also a task for us Europeans. I therefore greatly welcome this resolution because it will have an impact on the entire North African region and, not least, on the countries in the Sahel zone, up to and including Mali."@en1
