"Mr President, I wish to speak on a matter which I have already had occasion to bring to the attention of the Presidency in the past. It is a matter which concerns my country, but I would first like briefly to make something clear in view of what some of the Members representing Spanish parties have said. As a member of an autonomist movement, I would stress my strong conviction that the principle, the value of the self-determination of peoples must be recognised and enforced in Europe at a practical level as one of the basic values of the European peoples, of the Europe of peoples and regions. No government or country must be allowed to suppress it.
I will now move on to another matter, the compensation of the soldiers used as forced labour in Germany during the Second World War. The compensation is currently in the process of being granted, but only the Italian soldiers are excluded from this measure – a very serious omission – which removes a thorn left over from the Second World War from Europe’s side. I call upon the Presidency of the European Parliament to look into the matter of the compensation of Italian soldiers used as forced labour in concentration camps in Germany during the Second World War."@en1
