"Such a rare event deserves to be highlighted. This own-initiative report on the future of the management of the EU’s external borders is a reasonable one, and it is tinged with a degree of realism in that it proposes, as a first stage in re-examining border management in the EU, a critical, in-depth analysis of the operation and effectiveness of the existing systems and how they interact.
Without being gullible, we can be optimistic, and then perhaps we can have a debate.
Just as an example, to help us understand the state of mind of the authors of this text, here are two passages from it.
The first recognises that ‘striking a balance between ensuring the free movement of a growing number of people across borders and ensuring greater security for Europe’s citizens is a complex exercise…’. That much is true, but in another place we read that ‘measures to enhance border security must go hand in hand with facilitation of passenger flows and the promotion of mobility in an increasingly globalised world’.
This level of schizophrenia is quite beyond us."@en1
