"Mr President, the humanitarian emergency in Italy and, in particular, on the island of Lampedusa – because this is what it is, a humanitarian emergency – compels us to act urgently.
I propose five steps. Firstly, a veritable Marshall Plan for Tunisia and Egypt which would provide tangible help across the board but, at the same time, expect in return the full cooperation of the Tunisian authorities in blocking their coasts so as not to allow further illegal emigration by sea.
Secondly, we need the urgent deployment of a Frontex RABIT mission – a rapid border intervention team. So, Commissioner, we do not just need two Frontex experts but a Frontex mission that must be sent there now.
Thirdly, we need to give Italy tangible help with the reception of the thousands of people who have landed in Lampedusa. Quite frankly, Commissioner, I do not see how you can say that EASO will send its experts when this EU office is still not yet operating, so we will have to do it in another manner.
Fourthly, we need to help with the process of repatriation: immediate repatriation of people who do not qualify for asylum protection. They should be sent back to Tunisia where they came from.
Finally, we need to bear in mind that in the Treaty, we have Article 80, which clearly states that our immigration policy should be based on the principle of solidarity and on the just sharing of responsibility. I think that it is about time that the Commission implemented this article."@en1
