lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to draw attention to a matter which is of direct relevance to this House, namely the situation of near anarchy that exists around the entrances to the Channel Tunnel at present at the freight depot. Since Saturday night, rail freight has been prevented completely from going through the tunnel. This is a direct consequence of the activities of illegal migrants coming out of Sangatte. The tunnel was closed last Wednesday. It has been effectively put on quarter-time since November 2001. This is affecting jobs in the UK and elsewhere. It is affecting businesses. Nobody seems to care about what is happening here. The authorities in France are not doing anything; the Commission is not taking action. I have asked the Commission to address this situation. What about the single market and the free movement of goods between France and the United Kingdom? No-one seems to care. This is a matter which requires immediate attention."@en1
