"There is an irrefutable need to move forward with the reinforcement of border checks coordinated by the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union. There is also a need for common operational procedures, as well as clear rules for participation in joint maritime operations – mainly search and rescue – and the disembarkation of rescued individuals.
To this end, the Commission decided to submit a draft decision based on the comitology procedure. The Council was not able to overcome its divisions on the subject, preferring to hide from Parliament behind technical arguments and so doing away with our competences. The opinion of Parliament’s Legal Service is very clear. The Commission exceeded its powers of implementation. This is not merely a technical procedure. According to Mrs Malmström’s own words, this is an initiative with great political significance and practical implications.
Our vote against is not only an affirmation of parliamentary prerogatives, but also an act of solidarity with small countries that are being unfairly penalised by this decision."@en1
