"Thank you, Mr President: I never get a blue card – my speeches are always so boring – so thank you very much. I was in fact indicating, Ms Mussolini, that Italy is one of those countries on the front line. Italy and Greece are on the front line; there are countries like Sweden and Germany taking more than anyone else; and then there are those Member States not doing enough.
But this is not a blame game. It is about Italy having been on the front line and therefore maturing its policies. I agree with what you are saying, but I say to those colleagues who do not want to take more refugees for the European Union that, had the European Union not existed, these people would have come to what is called the continent of Europe. People heard King Abdullah this morning talking about how his country is now unable to cope. Italy would have had mature policies because it was on the front line.
So I agree that this is happening and that those Member States which are not taking responsibility should work towards an organised solution."@en1
