"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the many misadventures of Nigeria include the deaths of Franco Lamolinara and Chris McManus, two European citizens who were killed during the failed attempt to free them. This was a very sad episode not only because of their deaths, but also because of the way the operation was coordinated between the countries involved, and for the apparent absence of any European involvement dear Commissioner. Italy has complained about the lack of information about what was about to happen – and this is already one issue – but I must say to the Commissioner that the citizens of Europe need a visible face of our shared foreign policy that is able to face its responsibilities on behalf of Member States, especially where there is little coordination, as was the case in Nigeria. Today, many people are licking their wounds, the Italians who were unable to be part of the liberation plan, the British for a failed operation and Europe for having kept a low profile. We condemn terrorism, which is also a phenomenon totally alien to African culture, and call on Nigeria to do its utmost, but we must also learn what the EU’s responsibilities are, and quickly, if we want to be taken seriously by Europe’s citizens."@en1
