"Mr President, the United Kingdom, of course, is not a member of the Schengen zone and I am glad to say now has no intention of joining. What was once an eccentric position of opposing it has now become uniform among all the mainstream parties.
Nonetheless, we want the system to work. We of course wish our friends and neighbours who are in the system every success with it. I cannot help noticing a structural problem, which is what we might call the tragedy of the commons. When you remove internal border checks you disincentivise countries in certain geographical locations from properly policing the system. If somebody arrives in Greece and you can see that he has travel documents, that his final destination is somewhere else, you have less incentive properly to police the border than you would have done if you still had a system of national control. I am all in favour of exchanging information, I am all in favour of collaboration, but we have to stop the system whereby people go for the weakest link in the chain: the country which they can most easily get into, which then makes one country’s problems everybody else’s."@en1
