lpv:translated text	"Sometimes the measures adopted by the European Union as regards the Mediterranean, were not always enough to render the Euro-Mediterranean policy a positive and concrete one. A clear example for me is the illegal/irregular immigration tragedy that exists in an alarming way in the Mediterranean. I believe that the European Union could have treated this phenomenon with more energy and urgency. This is not a situation that pertains to this region alone and therefore the 'burden-sharing' principle, not the 'burden-shifting' principle, should be adopted. This is an international issue and it requires an international solution, possibly joint initiatives between the United Nations and the European Union. While I appreciate that recently there was more commitment from the Council and the Commission, I hope that the necessary funds will be available so that these intentions can be translated into effective results. Without any doubt, the Barcelona process was fundamental so that the Euro-Mediterranean policy is given the due importance. However, it may be the case that, as happened with the Lisbon agenda, the time is ripe for this process to be reviewed so that, in the first place, we gauge how successful we were in achieving our aims successfully, as in the case of the creation of a free industrial trade area in the Mediterranean. In my opinion, we should revive this process, if need be."@en1
