"Mr President, I too would like to refer to the environmental disaster that took place on the night of 19 to 20 August of this year, when a Greek vessel chartered by Dutch nationals discharged 400 tons of refinery waste. As a result, 11 areas of the region concerned have been polluted, hundreds of thousands of people are in hospital and 7 have died.
According to the UN, no firm registered in Europe should export toxic material to Africa, yet this does often happen. The incident in question is particularly dramatic, and utterly scandalous, as it took place in a densely-populated area.
The European Parliament donates a great deal of money to Africa. We send it billions of euro, on top of which we now have to provide humanitarian aid. Every human being has the right to clean water and clean air, and that is why more immigrants will be arriving."@en1
