lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the main phenomena that threaten democratic values, people and civil rights today are as globalised as our economy. Organised crime, drug trafficking, trafficking in human beings and terrorism are phenomena that no longer permit us to continue to think in national or regional terms. It is therefore by no means too late for the European Union to apply its policy on justice and home affairs to its external relationships. What is more, in the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs we have noticed that there are more and more reports relating to cross-border problems, and Eurojust is only one example of this. The reinforcement or even the preservation of the constitutional state and democracy in the European Union is determined to a large extent by the situation in the countries surrounding us and those further away. A significant factor in this is the visible and invisible corruption that is particularly problematic in a number of countries and which is undermining our democracy. Thus an efficient and responsible immigration and asylum policy cannot be achieved without appropriate efforts for the countries of origin. However, in order to achieve a good understanding of the causes of migration and asylum applications, we must match our development policy to the actual socio-economic and political context in the countries concerned. The proposal by the Council, in collaboration with the Commission, is an important document that is pointing in the right direction. The principle of the constitutional state is being reinforced, both in the area of enlargement and in that of the European Union’s collaboration with other countries, and we should now be aiming to achieve proper coordination in our external policy. With her report, Mrs Hazan has furthermore managed to reinforce the original text. Naturally, the objectives, priorities and measures being proposed will still have to be achieved and complied with. It is also important that Parliament be kept properly informed about progress in this regard, because we have to be able to answer the question that concerns the man and woman on the street: ‘What are you doing to solve all these problems?’"@en1
