lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I believe that Lampedusa has become a symbol of the inhumanity of the European Union’s immigration policy. This is not a just an immediate problem; it is a structural problem. I remember 14 February 2009, during the previous parliamentary session. I went to Lampedusa with a delegation from my parliamentary group. It was a journey into hell; into hell, I say! That migration policy was not based on the understanding that emigration is a right and not a crime, and it did nothing to guarantee the sacred principle of the right to request asylum. In Lampedusa, in 2009, nothing was done to identify people or to process asylum requests until the people did what they had to do: rise up, mutiny, because they were living like animals. Between 2009 and 2011, nothing has changed. In fact, it could be said that something did change: President Berlusconi signed an agreement with Colonel Gaddafi in spite of the fact that Colonel Gaddafi was not complying with international law and expelled the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees knowing that he had 9 000 refugees in Libya; the same Libya that is currently being bombed after a humanitarian appeal. It is this hypocrisy that needs to be changed. This is what needs to fundamentally change in the European Union."@en1
