lpv:translated text	". I would like to comment on two contradicting opinions: deviation as a general principle and strict observance of the rules laid down in the Schengen Code. It is precisely the compromise we have reached that allows reasonable border crossings even when the queues are really long. Just imagine a border crossing between, say, Slovenia and Croatia during a public holiday when fifty to sixty thousand people turn up, ten thousand of whom have a visa. If those ten thousand had to be fingerprinted, the others, who are citizens of the European Union and can cross the border without any formalities, would have to wait a day or two. Therefore, let us be realistic and create a strict control system comprising reasonable measures for a smooth border crossing. Let us not forget that the regulation clearly states, and I quote: ‘… . Therefore, in all cases where there is even the slightest doubt, the border official will check; in all other cases, when there are a large number of people at the border, he will act in accordance with the regulation, which allows for some deviation. We must not build a new ‘Berlin Wall’ of officials and information. The European Union is and should continue to be a global power that is considerate towards its own citizens and to others who are entering. I would like to thank Mr Cashman, among others, and of course the Commissioner for their patience when we were working on this compromise."@en1
