"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this debate comes a year after another, essentially identical debate.
One year ago Lampedusa was overrun, as was the case in Greece this year and in previous years. Mr Busuttil made the point not long ago: 60 000 people came to Lampedusa, but certainly had no intention of staying there. These migrants – economic migrants – arrive in Italy, Greece and Malta, not by any means to stay there but rather to move on to other EU Member States.
The answer to this is more Europe, more responsibility, more solidarity and enterprise. Negotiations have been opened on the funds for this area of action over the 2014-2020 planning period and might I suggest that Ms Malmström steps in there, just as the Council is pushing for a more enterprising approach.
There is no doubt that there are some obstreperous Member States. What we need to do is overcome this attitude, otherwise Europe will not make any progress in this regard."@en1
