lpv:translated text	". I congratulate the Greek Presidency on the progress it has made in the field of justice and home affairs, and on the results achieved at the Thessaloniki European Council. I welcome the decision taken to step up development of the programme adopted at Tampere, especially as regards drawing up a common European immigration policy (on illegal immigration, return to country of origin and cooperation with third countries). I would mention the progress made in improving the management of our external borders, in developing the second Schengen Information System (SIS II) and the Visa Information System (VIS), as well as the adoption, after three years of negotiations, of the directives on family reunification and long-term residency. Equally important is the consensus reached on the Union’s position regarding the agreement with the USA on extradition and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. I also approve of the European Council’s decision on the results of the Convention. I hope that, using that decision as the basis for the work of the next Intergovernmental Conference, the three pillars will eventually be abolished, as the European Parliament has been requesting for some time now; the area of freedom, security and justice will then be created more easily and transparently. Finally, as a result of the Council’s decision, I hope that the European Parliament will be granted powers of codecision on asylum and immigration issues."@en1
