<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"When the Iranian revolution took place in the spring of 1979, over 50% of Iran's population was under the age of 25. For all the talk about ‘freedom’, it is clear that some of the driving forces behind the political unrest in the Maghreb today are economic/demographic, as increasingly large and growing populations compete for scarce resources. Does the Council accept that whatever the political character or complexion of the governments that emerge they are unlikely to be able to provide either political stability or economic improvements for their people unless they can somehow address the rapid expansion in population that is a feature of the developing world, even if this is complicated by the fact that some observers see the impacts of globalisation as exacerbating these pressures, at least in the short to medium term, whilst others see globalisation in some form as the only long-term solution to these worldwide demographic pressures, with or without explicit governmental population policies? Has the Council commissioned any research dedicated to addressing the impact of demographic changes on political stability in the developing world, and has the Council formally acknowledged the importance of uncontrolled expansion of population as a cause of unrest and foreign policy preoccupations over the coming decades?  In the meantime, organised criminals, people-traffickers and economic migrants have already begun to take advantage of the unrest along the coast of North Africa, with boatloads of people arriving in the southern Mediterranean, including Italy. This has reportedly led to an upsurge in criminal activity, with members of indigenous communities in certain areas effectively displaced through fear. The Italian Foreign Minister has already asked for help. Uncontrolled migrations of this kind have implications across Europe, and will continue to do so in the coming years unless Europe can act effectively, posing a threat not only to Europe's identity and cohesion, but also potentially to its security. In cases where an EU government determines that unauthorised migrations pose a threat to its security, will the Council undertake to provide practical assistance, if necessary to repatriate illegal migrants to their countries of origin, in the event that their own governments are unable or unwilling to abide by their international obligations and accept return of their nationals?"
