lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it seems rather ironic that, just as the first signs of freedom and democracy have begun to emerge in Tunisia, a wave of refugees has been unleashed. It seems a little hard to believe that they would actually want to leave this country. Major changes seem to be taking place throughout the Middle East and it may well be that this is just a precursor of things to come. Therefore, I think that it is a positive thing that the Commission is taking all possible steps to prepare itself. The Commission should now also prove that it can get the situation under control. All community stops need to be pulled out, we will have to come to Tunisia’s aid, but it seems inevitable to me that, in these particular circumstances, just as we are seeing the first signs of freedom in Tunisia, many of these people will turn out not to be genuine refugees. For that reason, it is just as inevitable that the Commission should aim to send a large number of people back to Tunisia, precisely in order to set an example for the future, given that it is possible that more refugees from Middle Eastern countries will follow."@en1
