"Madam President, I believe we are discussing a pan-European issue here. We have to understand that Europe must act in a spirit of solidarity and unity. Today, we have an issue with Italy and with refugees from Tunisia, but tomorrow it may be from Algeria, Egypt or possibly Libya, from whence thousands have already come to us in the past. The fact that we do not have the Council here is a problem, of course. The Council is not interested in this issue. I am disappointed that the Council is not sitting here today, listening to Parliament’s debate with us. In my opinion, we must work with the Commission to find a solution that will be, on the one hand, legally proper, while, on the other, as my colleague, Mr Kelly, said, we cannot simply accept all refugees coming to Europe from North Africa. This is surely not our objective, and those who do not deserve political asylum must be returned to their country of origin."@en1
