@ Sandro Pace.

Your choice of words echo exactly what I had in mind.

Ditto.

Agree with Sandro Pace, pre-election gimmicks. Do you think the Maltese people are so stupid???

More promisses, more nice words and gimmicks to buy time. We won't believe, until it actually happens, not if it MAY happen !!

@S Pace: I hope you will write to congratulate the government when the aircraft is indeed made available for such repatriations. These are all small steps in the right direction - they're taking too long, but coming from the EU, not many things get done fast anyway.

Its for the whole of the EU, not just for malta. They're starting in malta though. There's no trick here.

If it took an MEP election to come to this statement, may God help us indeed.

IF, and that's a BIG IF, IF it were ever to come to fruition, I really hope that the aircraft would be an A380 with an all-cattle class configuration... and even then, that would just represent, at best, just a boatload of illegals.

The moral of the story? So much for all the EU nonsense. It is just that: all talk and all nonsense, and very little else to substantiate or remotely suspect otherwise.

Pull the other one Frontex.
You are like Gonzi.
We do not believe you.
Why did you not start repatriating ALL OUR ILLEGAL immigrants before?

We believe when we start seeing the majority of the immigrants leaving our country. Until then it's only the usual empty promises and rhetoric.

is it a coincidence tha illegal migrants stopped coming over during the MEP elections? I think not! Human traffickers know that they stand a better chance of business as usual with an administration that talks a lot but does nothing concretly to stop their illegal business.
Now Frontex after having spent 3 years without teeth is suddenly being given a lot of teeth ! If we believe this, we might see pigs flying nest Monday!

"may", "consider". All pre-electoral tricks, sorry.

We want "must" and "will".
