"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I am grateful to Vice-President Frattini for being here today. I feel that what he has told us reveals a number of good objectives, but all too often the means for achieving them are not the most appropriate. I refer in particular to the need to fight illegal immigration and trafficking in human beings. All too often the fight has been carried on by means of summary judgments and expulsions, at times violating the non-refoulement principle and even denying people the right to asylum. I am referring in particular to the fact that on 14 April this year Mr Frattini met the EU Home Affairs Ministers to strengthen cooperation with Libya for the purpose of fighting illegal immigration. I have personally witnessed the treatment to which illegal immigrants are subjected in Libya – including those who are sent back there from a European country – and I have witnessed blatant violations of human rights. I ask whether the European Union intends to make use of such measures to fight illegal immigration."@en1
