"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are grateful to the Commissioner for the commitments that have been made, although it should be said that with all the salaries the European Union pays around the world – with 136 diplomatic missions – it could perhaps have realised what was happening sooner. In fact, the situation was not even foreseen by the representatives of the Socialist International, one of whose members was the nice Tunisian dictator, whose brilliant social and political management of that country led to all this. We want to learn from the Commission why it does not talk to us clearly about sharing out these people among the various European countries. It is not fair – as the coastal states have been saying for a long time – that this problem should only affect the countries that have a Mediterranean sea border with North African countries. That is a fundamental point, and it is also fundamental to remember that Frontex has very limited resources: I have heard that two experts have been sent. There is a massive crisis taking place in Lampedusa, not least in humanitarian terms, which needs to be tackled with a task force of appropriate size in order to remedy the mistakes and failures of the recent past. The situation is extremely serious and it may also get worse from a public health point of view, since water has perhaps already begun to run out in Lampedusa."@en1
