"Mr President, Prime Minister, there were high hopes for the Danish Presidency, in the hands of a recently elected government at the worst point in the worst crisis the European Union has ever faced. Six months later, however, while acknowledging the progress made in terms of energy and in terms of the response to the crisis, the evaluation of the Presidency cannot be a satisfactory one because a shadow has been cast over it by the decision adopted by the Justice and Home Affairs Council to re-governmentalise the Schengen evaluation mechanism.
This means not only ignoring the area of freedom, security and justice as a European policy in which Parliament is the ordinary legislator; it also means ignoring the fact that Parliament represents 500 million people as the sole body that is directly elected by them; it also means ignoring the fact that, as was stated at the informal Justice and Home Affairs Council in Copenhagen, solidarity, which is enshrined in Article 80 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, does not consist of re-establishing the internal borders of the European Union but rather of helping to establish joint management of its internal and external borders.
I will therefore conclude by saying two things. The first it that this has affected the entire asylum package and the entire Schengen package. The second thing, however, is that political union cannot be identified with banking union or with guaranteeing deposits, but rather with rescuing the people, free movement of people and solidarity within the European Union."@en1
