European Parliament
President.
Question No 1 by Camilo Nogueira Román , which has been taken over by Josu Ortuondo Larrea
Subject: Migrants tragically drowned off the Union's southern Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts
In the last few days 70 African migrants have been drowned, this time off the coast of Sicily. Such tragic events have become a frequent occurrence, off the Union's southern Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, especially near the Canary Islands and Andalusia, and are a black mark on Europe's conscience. Thousands of migrants, many of them pregnant women and young children, have died in this way in recent years. What non-repressive political action does the Union intend to take to prevent such catastrophes?
