"Madam President, around this time last year, the European Parliament tried to get some clarity about the EUR 60 million which the Commission had promised Libya for measures intended to keep migrants out of the country, in particular to protect Libya’s southern border, so that the migrants did not enter Libya and, thus, did not enter Europe from there. At the time, we tried to highlight the fact that, in many cases, these migrants were refugees, people fleeing dictatorships in sub-Saharan Africa.
We now have evidence that that was the case. Just look at the people who have been left behind in Tunisia and Egypt, who have fled Libya and who cannot return home: Somalis, Eritreans, Ethiopians, Sudanese, that is who the refugees are. There are still some 5 000 of them. I would like to ask the Commission and, especially, the Council if it is not possible for Europe to do something to relocate these people to Europe. My second question to the Commission is: what has that EUR 60 million which we gave Libya for things which we knew, even back then, were not right, been spent on?"@en1
