Mr President, another ten emigrants drowned yesterday while trying to reach Italy. They wanted to work in Europe. In the last few weeks, hundreds of emigrants have suffered the same tragic fate off the coasts of southern Italy, Andalucia and the Canary Islands. I mention this state of affairs once again in an attempt to induce Parliament and the Union to take the necessary political steps to avoid these intolerable tragedies and prevent them from happening ever again. In any event, let us remember these innocent people.
