"Mr President, this debate should perhaps not be about the wider points of migration, on which we could all talk in great detail, but should be about the detailed visit by the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs to Lampedusa. Here, I want to associate myself with the comments of Mrs Borsellino and Mrs Wikström, in the sense that there were some political changes in Italy but there are still some unanswered questions as to exactly where we are going with Lampedusa.
I would like our group to support the request that the Italian authorities designate Lampedusa a safe harbour for migrants. There is still plenty of suffering going on and we must ensure that this debate is about the collective response, ensuring that that tragedy is minimised, that all the resources are being used to minimise that suffering, and that we have a lasting medium-term and long-term solution which ensures that all of the resources go into minimising the suffering, ensuring that there is national support, supported by the Commission and other Member States doing what they can, to ensure that people are not left in a situation where there are no collective efforts to support a country in distress.
As other colleagues have said, this situation is repeated in other Member States. That is what we are here to debate, rather than other external issues. The Commission must do its job and we in this Parliament should ensure that the collective response is maximised."@en1
