"Mr President, first may I thank the Commissioner for her statement that she wants to have Parliament involved more in this area; that is important. I would also compliment her and other speakers on the role the Irish Presidency has played in moving this dossier forward and also the one on asylum.
That is something I greatly appreciate because our minister, who has had to leave, told me at the beginning of the Presidency that she was going to be in attendance at every single part-session that she was invited to attend. I just want to put it on the record that once or twice it has been mentioned here that the Council was not present. The reason they were not present was that they were not invited. Minister Creighton has been present on all occasions.
Now, regarding this measure, I think a lot of practical, sensible measures are here which I would support. Schengen is a great part of the European Union. We talk about the freedom of movement, of goods, capital, etc., but freedom does not mean uncontrolled. There have to be controls in everything and particularly at times of exceptional circumstances, The measures proposed here, measures of last resort, for limited periods, do make sense and I think unilateral action for a maximum of five days is a sensible approach as well.
So by and large, I think that this is a step in the right direction which will give a lot of consolation to citizens and also to Member States, and so I welcome these measures."@en1
