On the one hand the management of migration from North Africa, other costs and the EU Foreign Policy in the Maghreb and Mashreq. This is the essence of the special meeting held this morning between the European parliament deputies, Frontex director Ikka Latinen and EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs responsible for immigration.
Against the background of the mea culpa Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuel for European support to the dictators of North Africa, the confession most unique in the history of the European Union. "We look back with humility. Europe was not sufficiently vigorous in defending human rights and democratic forces in the region.
Too many of us have believed that authoritarian regimes were a guarantee of stability in the area. " More or less direct reference to the agreement between Italy and Libya signed in 2009 and said today "suspended" by the Minister for Foreign Affairs Franco Frattini. "Europe should be on the side of the demonstrators for democracy and not dictators," said Fuel.
Okay Sonia Alfano (IDV) Member of the European Parliament Civil Liberties Committee, which speaks of "failed policy" of both Italy and Europe. "The EU has preferential trade agreements to date rather than the rights of the citizens of North Africa." A European Parliament delegation to Libya had been in very difficult times this past November, but according to Alfano, who had participated in it, it was unfortunately more than "a sightseeing tour that policy." As for the landings in Sicily, the director of Frontex is optimistic on the outcome of the mission "Hermes Extension 2011" launched at Lampedusa thanks to € 25 million allocated by Brussels and the 50 experts made available by member states.
According to Frontex is experiencing migration varied, most of which are not directed towards Europe, but between Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. Commissioner Malmstrong had indeed already judged excessive fears of the Minister Bobo Maroni about a possible exodus from Libya to Italy. "For the moment there are no landings of this type.
The refugees are going to Libya to Tunisia and Egypt. " The fears were ventilated from Rome also been criticized by the EU Council of 24 February. "We can not paint the devil before we see it," he told the Hungarian Interior Minister Sandor Pinter, head of the EU rotating presidency. In short, the impression is that in Italy you want to fan the flames of fear rather than face the mistakes in foreign policy.
In France, however, the riots in the Arab world have pushed Nicolas Sarkozy in a government reshuffle. A losing their jobs were the Foreign Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie and the interior Brice Hortefeux. In a public speech, Sarkozy justified the operation by the need to redefine the foreign policy of France.
Pier Antonio Panzeri (Pd) Chairman of the Delegation of the European Parliament on the Maghreb, emphasizes the need for "initiatives in the medium and long term for a new strategy in the Mediterranean." Meanwhile, the EU, after having passed sanctions against Gaddafi and 25 of his loyalists, is preparing for an extraordinary meeting of the EU Council to study the next moves.
