lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Madam Vice-President, today I would like to talk about internal security and the work programme. However, before I do this I would like to mention another issue. We spend all our time talking about the banks. A few weeks ago in my local area, a large company with 2 000 employees filed for bankruptcy and the employees are facing ruin because the banks are cutting back the lines of credit. This shows that the crisis is already hitting the real economy in no uncertain terms and therefore I propose to the Commission that we take a look at one of the responses and investigate the law on subsidies, which we are now abandoning as far as the banks are concerned and that suddenly has no effect any more, and change it in light of the present crisis. In this way we can also help the medium-sized enterprises. However, the main topic I want to discuss concerns the Commission’s work programme and the subject of internal security. On reading the programme I was disappointed, because in addition to the economic issues there are also other major challenges. I can see that enormous achievements have been made with the Schengen Information System (SIS). Switzerland is now joining, and even before joining, it has reported significant successes due to access to the SIS. Nevertheless, the programme does not seem to explain how the Commission wants to finally get SIS II up and running. It is delayed month after month and no progress is made. We are also not making any progress in the second area which is of extreme importance with respect to police cooperation, namely the fight against organised crime and practical cooperation between police organisations. We are lacking a clear legal framework. Unfortunately, I have also found nothing on this subject in the work programme for 2009. I should like to see more commitment in this area. Thirdly, migration, the migration network, immigration and the blue card, which we will discuss tomorrow, are described in the programme. The general public would go along with increased openness for immigration if we explain to them clearly that we are fighting against illegal immigration and that we will also bring an end to this illegal immigration. This is one of the interconnections that we must not overlook."@en1
