Hva mener EU mht den greske blokaden av «Ship to Gaza-baatene»?
EU-landet Hellas innfoerer, uten lovhjemmel skulle jeg anta, et generelt forbud mot vaare baater til aa forlate greske havner. Det skaper mildt sagt sterke reaksjoner blant de EU-parlamentarikerne som er her nede:
Willy Meyer, MEP Spain
Nicole Kiil-Nielsen, MEP France
Marco Ramazzote Stockel, representative of the Jewish organisations
1st – July – 2011
Several members of the European Parliament (MEPs) participating to the flotilla today met with Mr Leonidas Antonakopoulos, Head of the European Parliament Information Office in Greece, and described the present situation of the flotilla.
They informed Mr. Antonakopoulos of two cases of sabotage against two European flotilla boats (one Swedish-Norwegian and one Irish) and of the beaurocratic obstacles created by Greek port authorities.
Mr. Antonakopoulos declared that such actions are “unacceptable” and he would contact the Greek authorities and request their assistance and cooperation to European citizens and boats.
The flotilla MEPs and representatives asked Mr. Antonakopoulos to intervene with the Greek authorities requesting a full investigation on the cases of sabotage and asking them not to create beaurocratic obstacles.
The MEPs and representatives also asked Mr. Antonakopoulos to intervene with the Israeli authorities suggesting not to take violent actions against the flotilla and its participants like the one occurred last year on international waters.
Attacks and sabotages are deemed to be against the sovereignity of the European Union and of its Member states.
Mr. Antonakopoulos said that he will arrange a meeting between the flotilla representatives and the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs as soon as possible.
