(ANSAmed) - BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 30 - The European Parliament
doesn't want to forget the tragedy on October 3, 2013, that
caused the death of 366 people off the coast of Lampedusa. The
delegation of European MPs that is part of the parliamentary
assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean has thus invited on
October 5 to Strasbourg the mayor of Lampedusa, Giusi Nicolini,
and the general commander of the Italian coast guard, Admiral
Vincenzo Melone.
Admiral Enrico Credendino, commander of operation Sophia of the European Union in the Mediterranean, will join them in the debate with lawmakers from the delegation.
The gathering will be chaired by the president of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, who will ''pay homage to efforts of Italian authorities'' and will ''discuss in which way the EU can better help communities that are on the frontlines of the management of the migration crisis'', the spokesman said.
