"I voted for the rejection of the report. Tourism constitutes a powerful economic sector accounting for 10% of the GDP of the European Union, as well as being a leading generator of jobs. It also constitutes a key contributor to the process of integration and balanced development of individual regions. There can be no doubt as to the need for ongoing innovations in this economic sector, especially as regards guaranteeing full access to the Internet across the entire Union. Unfortunately, numerous provisions in the report refer to areas within the competence of the Member States, which, in my view, violates the principle of subsidiarity. Among others, the suggestions to simplify procedures for processing tourist visas may – if we recall the increasingly widespread problem of illegal immigration – deepen the economic crisis in some countries. As to issues concerning the provision of a wider range of possibilities for tourists, improving regional competitiveness or introducing modern information technologies into tourism, I believe these should be presented in a separate report."@en1
