"Mr President, first of all, I would like to reiterate that I am speaking on behalf of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, and not on behalf of my political group, and that, consequently, I would like to know exactly what has happened and why I was not included on the list of draftsmen. I apologise if I have made a mistake, but if not, I would like to receive an official explanation.
Having made my point, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would first of all like to thank the Members of the Committee on Budgets and particularly the general rapporteur, Mr Costa Neves, for the attention he has given to the requests and concerns of the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights. We asked a great deal, Mr President, and we received a great deal in return, and this is something I welcome. We only made legitimate requests. We asked for an increase in the funding granted to the European Refugee Fund, and this was given. We asked for an increase in the resources for measures to combat violence towards women, children and teenagers, and this was given. We asked for an increase in the resources to combat child pornography on the Internet, and this was granted. We asked for no less than six new budget lines, and these were given. We have a new European Migration Monitoring Observatory to enable the European Union to anticipate the arrival of waves of migrants and to be better prepared for these. We have a specific research and evaluation programme on respect for fundamental rights of the European Union, so that the Charter of Fundamental Rights becomes an operational reality and not just a reality in words alone. We have a new budget line that should enable Eurojust to become operational. We have funding for the Schengen line with a view to adapting the Schengen Information System to the realities of enlargement, and, lastly, we anticipated – and this, Mr President, is an urgent request to the President-in-Office of the Council – we anticipated, given the current situation, exceptional appropriations for use by Europol in the fight against terrorism. We are well aware of the limits of Europol’s actions, we also know that it is founded on conventions, and thus we could experience legal difficulties in using these appropriations. However, we would like to address a formal appeal to the Council not to allow these appropriations to escheat, to create the legal basis, which will enable Europol to become fully operational and will allow Eurojust to develop to its full potential."@en1
