"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, while it is true that many migration flows arise from instability, we are rather reluctant to use such a mistaken term, because instability really means war, genocide, uncontrolled violence, revolutions and the misery to which these people have been condemned, whilst the European Union remains silent. There is also the desire for freedom. The resolution that we have voted on calls for a Union policy for the East and its most appropriate instruments to address various factors that cause this instability. I wonder what credibility this foreign policy can have, given that events in Libya and North Africa have demonstrated the total lack of an EU foreign policy. The governments of the Member States each acted on their own behalf, offering a pitiful spectacle to the world and the people that we should be helping. The only refugee reception policy the Union could offer fell well short of requirements. The island of Lampedusa and Italy were left without any answers. Therefore we are certainly voting in favour of this measure, but we urge the Union to finally come up with a foreign policy worthy of the name."@en1
