lpv:translated text	"Mr President, indeed, we have been talking about this tragedy that has been taking place in the Mediterranean for years, and I am afraid to say, you have taken no heed. You have ignored it because, as has been said by others before me, it is a false solidarity that is talked about when it comes to irregular immigration to Europe. At the moment, this tragedy can be witnessed in Lampedusa; and it is a grave tragedy. Now, when Lampedusa becomes overcrowded – which it already is - everyone will be sent to Italy and at least the situation will be more bearable. God forbid, Commissioner, had the same number entered Malta, because the tragedy would have been far greater. Whoever comes to Malta will have no choice but to remain. Yet, Malta cannot extend any further. Nor can the funds be used to turn tiny Malta into a huge prison that will detain all these people on the island. This is why we need true commitment from the Member States, and more solidarity, particularly from the Northern European countries, because, as the Vice-President of this Parliament mentioned, we are witnessing none of this solidarity on the part of other European Union Member States."@en1
