"Commissioner, what you have said today has genuinely made me put away the speech I had prepared and address you directly as a representative of the Commission. I do not think you can expect us, the representatives of the Maltese people, to say thank you in this House because you are going to give us money or because you have given us as much money as we collect in one day for charity at Christmas. Your responses do not reflect what is really happening in our country. Secondly, you have evaded the most crucial question of all. We are presenting you with a practical proposal: that Dublin II be revised so that responsibility for processing the applications of people coming to Malta no longer lies with that country but is shared among other countries. What do you think about this proposal? I ask this because, ultimately, it is not just any amount of money that we want (and, I repeat, ‘money’ not peanuts) but money to the tune of millions, substantial enough for providing a proper welcome to these fellow human beings of ours. Apart from money, however, what, in terms of real administrative and long-term help, do you think would solve this problem? That is what we should like to know today."@en1
