"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Europe has long been like the Sleeping Beauty on matters of immigration, and we are now paying the price for the time wasted. The fact is that immigration is still not a priority for the European Union or for all 27 Member States, but the burden is often left for the border countries to bear alone. Developing a suitable Euro-Mediterranean strategy should also be a common goal, but in this case too, we have to admit that the Barcelona Process has, in fact, never taken off. The fact is, Commissioner, that these are uncomfortable subjects. Some Member States, such as Italy, Greece, Malta and so on, quite rightly have to deal with them and have a duty of solidarity, whereas most Member States stand on the sidelines as passive onlookers and confine themselves to just lecturing the others. There is a great deal to do, then, on the legislative front in terms of funds and strengthening of instruments – I am referring to Frontex – but what is needed most of all is political will. To conclude, Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Malmström and the entire Commission for precisely that: for assuring the Italian Government of its commitment – repeated again today – to tackle the humanitarian crisis in Lampedusa."@en1
