lpv:translated text	". Mr President, in the opinion submitted to the Committee on Budgets, the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs highlighted a number of priorities, almost all of which can also be found in Mr Costa Neves’ report, for which I would like to give him my thanks. First of all, I would reiterate that the creation of a genuine area of freedom, security and justice is of strategic importance to the whole of the European Union. This priority, which was formally confirmed at the Tampere Summit, generated a major work programme for the Commission with extremely tight deadlines. We therefore believe – and I direct this point in particular to the Commissioner – that the justice and home affairs sector must be allocated the manpower and administrative resources required to carry out the mountain of tasks before it, in an efficient manner and within the agreed time scales. One of these tasks – the asylum and immigration policy, including the fight against criminal networks – clearly occupies a central position and I should like to thank the general rapporteur for having taken this up expressly in his draft resolution. Lastly, I should like to draw the Commission’s attention to the difficult problem that the European Union will face in the future, which is the effective control of its external borders. The EU’s borders, which are already very extensive and difficult to control at the moment, will be even more so in the future, when the current applicant countries, from which immigrants heading for the EU originate, will then become gateways to the territory of the European Union. That is why, Commissioner, we believe that you must lay down strict guidelines in the 2002 budget that will enable us to face up to this challenge. The EU cannot become a fortress, but neither can it start to resemble a labyrinth of criminal immigration networks."@en1
