Mr President, a large number of prospective immigrants drowned recently in the waters off the coast of Sicily. When, I wonder, will the institutions of the European Union forego their callous and reprehensible indifference to tragic deaths such as these? Moreover, when, I wonder, will we ourselves, the Members of this Parliament, observe at least a minute’s silence for these poor souls who were looking for a better life in our countries?
