Mr President, Commissioner Frattini, I wish to begin by thanking Mr Cashman and others for a very constructive report. Because asylum, refugee policy and immigration are issues to which we in the committee devote a lot of time, it was necessary initially to obtain clear rules on the Community Code and the movement of persons across borders. The fact that we can now revise controls and jointly strengthen the external borders means that the EU’s borders become more secure. Criminals, drug traffickers and human traffickers who import women and children for the purposes of prostitution will have fewer opportunities to move freely across borders, while other people, despite their foreign appearance, can now feel welcome.
When, tomorrow, we vote in favour of the report, we shall be able to get to grips with one of the committees’ major tasks: asylum and immigration policy. We have so many shared questions about how we in the EU are to safeguard the values referred to. We want of course to see a more open EU, but that requires common solutions and respect for countries, as well as respect between countries and between people and groups. That is the first step. Thank you again for a very constructive report."@en1
