lpv:translated text	"Madam President, last Friday, hundreds of so-called asylum seekers from the former Barbary broke out from their reception camps on the Italian mainland. These immigrants had been transferred there because Lampedusa is overfull. Madam President, this is the harsh reality: thousands of prospectless immigrants from Barbary are abusing the instability in their region in order to seek a better life in rich Europe. The immigrants who were interviewed on TV promptly indicated the cities they most wanted to go to – Amsterdam, Rome, it did not matter much – or to make matters worse, they complained about the lack of cigarettes and drink provided by the Italian authorities. You would almost forget that people consciously choose illegality and deliberately misuse social services in Europe. These so-called asylum seekers, whom I prefer to call freeloaders, must be received in the region. Their shelter is the responsibility of the African Union, the Arab League or the terrible Organisation of the Islamic Conference. The European Union is not responsible for these fortune seekers. If, nevertheless, they do come in, let us greatly accelerate the asylum procedures of these so-called refugees and send them back as soon as possible to the countries in and around Barbary. Let those countries take responsibility, not us and not now."@en1
