Italiens eller nærmere den italienske minister Maronis opførsel er ulovlig i henhold til den internationale lovgivning, er nedladende over for Malta og er umenneskelig over for de involverede immigranter.
Mr President, Italy's behaviour, or rather, that of Italian Minister Maroni, is illegal in the face of international law, is overbearing with regard to Malta, and is inhumane with respect to all the immigrants involved.
