lpv:translated text	". Mr President, in the debate on immigration, emotion and reason are sometimes at odds with each other, as was evident on Dutch television recently, when the journalist Sorious Samura accompanied illegal immigrants from Morocco to Ceuta, thereafter to mainland Spain, and from there to France and London. The image that was portrayed to the viewing public was shocking. However difficult the living conditions, border crossings were very often easy. The help of people-traffickers – which had to be paid for – appeared to make nearly everything possible, and once the immigrants had left the reception centres, they were able to leave the country in which they had arrived, although they then had only a life on the wrong side of the law to look forward to, which is far from desirable. That is why people-traffickers must be tackled. Their activities must be punishable and they must be prosecuted. I have two questions for Commissioner Frattini. Whilst we have been inundated with information on immigrants who arrive on Spanish islands, there is little information on how the smugglers and the captains of the boats involved will be challenged. This contrasts with the way in which the trafficking of human beings over land, in respect of which sentences have already been passed, is being addressed. What options can you see in the short term to be able to make a start on tackling human trafficking by sea to the European Union? Also, is it possible, on the basis of Frontex’s expertise, to actively challenge the organisations that transport people to, for example, the Canary Islands and Spain?"@en1
