"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I have many reservations about this report, the first of which, as was said a short time ago, concerns a provision that seems baffling at a time when Europe is facing the problem of the wages guarantee fund or indeed the redundancies of millions of workers. Providing for 60 million new immigrants to come and work in Europe is in my view an outrageous measure.
I would also like to point out, however, that while we are discussing how to regulate and organise the future of immigration, tragedies are taking place – avoided, thank God, by Italy’s sense of humanity and Mr Maroni’s good governance – such as what might have happened in the case of the Turkish ship
.
What is Europe to do? In 600 cases – as Mr Maroni rightly stated – Malta, despite being funded by the European Union, has failed in its duty to take in those who travelled from the coast of North Africa and landed on their shores. In all these cases Italy has had to intervene, although our reception centre at Lampedusa is by now well beyond its capacity, as we all know.
So, Europe, intervene, lay down some definite rules! We are asking for a substantial increase in funding for our country to enable us to address this challenge properly. Europe must wake up and regulate immigration flows seriously: we cannot go on like this!"@en1
