"“I am horrified that – once again – hundreds of people are reported to have died while trying to cross the Mediterranean,” said Thierry Mariani (France, EPP/CD), Chairman of the Migration Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), reacting today to news of a ramming incident which caused a boat from Egypt to sink east of Malta last week. “There needs to be an urgent, transparent and thorough investigation into this tragic incident.“"
