lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr President of the Commission, Commissioners, I should like to start with a quote: “The Commission will continue to work towards establishing a European Charter of Fundamental Rights and draw up proposals to bring about an ambitious programme. The Commission is planning in particular to develop a genuine European policy on asylum and immigration. It wishes to boost judicial assistance and cooperation and to develop an effective approach to the fight against all forms of crime”. That is the entire programme for the next five years on the question of internal security, freedom, citizens’ rights and judicial cooperation. A paper this short is a farce. A farce because we know and appreciate the work of Commissioner Vitorino and what we have here on paper is a blatant contradiction to how things actually stand. A paper such as this is no basis for a scoreboard. It has been extolled and celebrated as a huge achievement and I am all for it; we need a basis for a scoreboard. We here in Parliament want to hold a serious discussion about the future development in this policy area on the basis of a programme. What we are looking for are minimum standards in asylum procedures so that refugees can be given help quickly, and those who are not fleeing know where they stand. We want instruments to prevent abuse. We want to develop a Community immigration policy which takes account of the Member States’ capacity to absorb immigrants and we need to extend the operational powers of EUROPOL, for example, so that specific steps can be taken to combat organised crime. We debate these issues intensively and seriously and we should be entitled to expect likewise from the Commission, even where it is merely submitting a paper."@en1
