"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the approval of this resolution is a very important political signal in the fight against maritime piracy.
Paragraph 30 of the resolution I proposed specifies that in the event of disputes between countries following military action aiming to combat piracy attacks in international waters, the national jurisdiction of the flag state shall be applied on the ships concerned as well as on the military staff employed aboard, as provided by international law. This aspect is crucial for avoiding future controversies like the one currently ongoing between Italy and India, and to defend the prerogatives of military personnel deployed in Operation Atalanta and as Vessel Protection Detachments (VPDs) on merchant vessels.
I dedicate the approval of this text to Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone, the two Italian sailors unjustly detained for almost three months in prison in India waiting for India to decide to acknowledge Italian jurisdiction and to allow these two soldiers to be judged by the Italian courts. I hope that European diplomacy will renew its support for Italy in this battle of civilisation."@en1
