On June 14, I sent a question to the European Commission, which was supported by 25 MEPs from four political groups. The Commission does not answer my questions and excuses itself with the fact that it does not want to comment on ongoing investigations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My request <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From joint research by Lighthouse Reports<\/a>El Pa\u00c3s, Sky News, Le Monde, S\u00c3\u00bcddeutsche Zeitung and Domani, the Italian government lied about its role in the Crotone boat accident that killed 94 people, including 35 children, and that Frontex helped cover up the incident. In its reply to our previous written question, the Commission stated that \u00e2Search\u00e2 and rescue operations […] are an obligation of the Member States under national law.<\/a>\u00e2. Furthermore, the Commission pointed out that it does not consider a search and rescue mechanism coordinated by the Union necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
