lpv:translated text	"Madam President, we are witnessing a new humanitarian tragedy on the European Union’s doorstep. It may be Lampedusa today, but we can expect an even greater influx of immigrants from North African countries elsewhere. Even just from Egypt into Israel, there are some 600 immigrants said to be fleeing every month. The authorities are no longer able to control the situation. We need a rapid and joint response. We must not respond by closing doors and by equating immigrants with criminals. It would be a disgrace if anyone actually thought along those lines in Europe, where the freedom of movement is a fundamental right and a symbol of freedom and equality. We Member States have to bear joint responsibility and share the burden which has fallen on Italy today. We have to mobilise forces and financial resources because this is about human lives. Our response to the recent events in Tunisia and Egypt has been patchy and slow. Let us demonstrate our credibility now and let us not succumb to the anti-immigrant rhetoric of extreme right and xenophobic parties. It is Italy that needs concrete help today; tomorrow, it might be another country. We need a rapid response now."@en1
