Mr President-in-Office of the Council, thank you very much for the detailed information you have given me on the result of the Ulysses project. One aspect which perhaps you have not highlighted is that, as a result of the division into two phases, while the first phase was strengthened in the Western Mediterranean, immigration in the Atlantic increased, and when the second phase took place in the Atlantic, immigration in the Mediterranean increased.
I put this question in relation to a new project which is apparently going to be implemented very soon – Neptune – which would involve the central Mediterranean. Does the Presidency-in-Office of the Council not believe that we should coordinate actions so that the pressure on one side does not force immigration to be diverted to other entry points, at least by sea?
