Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this report expresses in apodictic terms a rejection in advance of any question of setting up the so-called reception centres in countries of final transit proposed by several parties. It is said that setting up such centres would lead to difficulties in complying with international human rights obligations, but I do not know on what assumptions this statement is based. I wonder whether the rapporteur has already ascertained that the leaders of such countries or the NGOs, including the European ones, operating in the countries of origin and transit of immigrants are not willing to cooperate.
I think that this preconception is based solely on ideological grounds, since reception centres could certainly play an important role in meeting both the need to carry out the necessary controls and that of humane treatment of migrants. In fact, the refusal to create such centres leaves the situation unchanged, and hinders the welcome involvement of countries of transit in the management of the migration process.
The centre that was recently set up in Africa, thanks to important intervention by my country through the Tripoli agreements, has already managed to prevent, at least so far, the Mediterranean crossings by desperate people in the traffickers’ old tubs and the resulting tragic shipwrecks. Its creation has thus made it possible to achieve a positive outcome in the fight against the despicable trafficking in human beings."@en1
