"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the exceptional flow of immigrants besetting the Italian coast and, hence, the whole of Europe, must spur us on to developing a common approach at last for managing this phenomenon. In this respect, the ongoing talks between the Italian authorities and the Commission are well on the way to providing a response to the humanitarian crisis that we have been discussing.
With all due respect to Mr Crocetta, I have to point out that the problem is not so much the 5 000 people who have arrived so far but the potentially momentous scale of the upheavals and the many thousand more refugees who could arrive on our shores if we send out clear political messages. We need to address this with the utmost urgency. The crisis must be overcome, but then a structural response will be needed.
We must enhance the role of Frontex to make it more operational and able to directly manage certain processes of identifying refugees, checking their country of origin and organising repatriations. We must enhance the role of Europol in order to prevent potential terrorists and criminals from slipping in. Above all, we must respond quickly. I think the Commission has reacted well, and I hope the Council, too, will do its part."@en1
