lpv:translated text	"Mr President, eight people, half of them children, have died under horrific and incomprehensible circumstances. The same thing happened in Dover a year ago. Then as now, it was said that this must not happen again. Everyone is shocked, but the truth is that thousands of people die every year under similar circumstances. We talk about illegal immigration to Europe and about people who try to make their way here without valid travel documents. It is, however, we who make their status illegal by constantly making the visa requirements more stringent, by constantly sending out the signal that they are not welcome, by forcing the airlines to accept their liability as transporters and by giving shipowners the task of assessing who shall be allowed to seek asylum. This situation cannot continue. We must agree upon a common, humane and generous refugee policy and a migration strategy for the whole of Europe. I hope we do not again have to sit here in this House in two weeks’ time following a similar event and express regret about the deaths of more people. We must look forward. We must see if we cannot find a solution to this problem other than repressive measures."@en1
