"Mr President, a few days ago, 19 Chinese people lost their lives in Morecambe Bay in the north-west of England. They were cockle picking on the sands, the tide came in and they were all drowned. Would you agree with me that this tragedy, whilst clearly on British soil – or in British waters – is equally a European or international issue, and that we must work together to counter the international people-smuggling gangs that were exploiting these poor people who were being paid as little as one pound per day for their work?
Furthermore, this case once again highlights the clear need to establish an effective and efficient common European system for asylum and the same for immigration, including legal migration, as a matter of urgency. It is clear that what is a United Kingdom tragedy one day could easily occur in another country's territory on another day."@en1
