". The Schengen system, in the guise of a gradual abolition of controls at the internal borders of the EU countries concerned, reinforces controls at the borders of the Union itself and makes conditions of access stricter. Whilst claiming to facilitate the movement of persons, Schengen makes it more difficult for all those who are not natives of the European Union. Our vote against this report is an expression of our opposition to both the spirit and the letter of the Schengen Convention. The enlargement of the European Union by the integration of certain Eastern European countries makes the Schengen Convention all the more shocking, as the Schengen borders put up additional barriers among national communities living in more than one country simultaneously. Finally, even the slight advantages of the Convention, that is to say, the end of controls at the internal borders of the Schengen area, are random, being subject to the discretion of States which are able to re-establish such controls."@en1
