"I wish to raise a matter which, unfortunately, has been pending since August 2003. Five Community nationals, citizens of the European Union, are being held by the Pakistani authorities. The Greek-owned ship, the
sank in Karachi harbour and, unfortunately, the cook is still being held, as are people from the salvage company who went there after the accident. All so that the Karachi port authorities can haggle with the insurance company over the insurance premiums which they should receive for the damage, which was indeed caused.
I raised the matter with the President of the European Parliament before Christmas. He was sympathetic but, unfortunately, the matter is still pending. What I am requesting is that the President of the European Parliament intervene again, perhaps calling on the ambassador to Pakistan or even asking Commissioner Patten to tell us what demarches have been taken by the European Union. The Italian Presidency and the Commission had mobilised and we must not allow anyone to haggle over insurance premiums with citizens of the European Union as hostages."@en1
