"I did not support the resolution on the Schengen area, because I do not think that it is appropriate to have a resolution that would refuse, on principle, any expansion of the criteria allowing controls to be set up at internal borders and which would run counter to the conclusions of the European Council and the proposals by the Commission. If we limit ourselves to the current criteria for ‘public policy and public security’, Member States will continue to act unilaterally, adopting a broad interpretation of these criteria in the event of increased migratory pressures. If this happens, we run the risk of conflating immigration and insecurity when what we need is to respond to migratory pressures. By contrast, the proposed device aims to create a mechanism enabling controls to be reintroduced at borders only under exceptional circumstances, as a last resort and through a European mechanism. Now we need to strengthen the governance of the Schengen area. The aim of this initiative is precisely to enable us to provide responses to the crisis that the Schengen area is going through at the moment. This crisis is particularly associated with the fact that certain Member States are no longer able to ensure that they respect their obligations under the Schengen
when it comes to effectively controlling their sections of the external borders."@en1
