"I voted in favour of the joint motion for a resolution on the Schengen system, because it strongly regrets the attempt by several Member States to reintroduce border controls, due to the massive influx of immigrants from North Africa. The Member States on the external borders of the EU cannot bear the pressure from immigration alone, while the other, central European, States threaten to restore border controls, thereby discriminating against those States on the external borders and turning them into ‘immigration holding pens’ for the whole of Europe. The creation of the Schengen area defined a common external border, which the EU has a joint responsibility to manage based on the Schengen Agreement, but the EU has not yet fully complied with this requirement. The problem of illegal immigration must be addressed collectively. However, as the resolution rightly states, the EU needs to develop a common immigration, asylum and visa policy."@en1
