"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we always support proposals in Parliament that aim to respond to the need for the adequate management of legal as well as illegal or clandestine flows of migrants. This proposal is also part of this dynamic and aims to introduce amendments – already outlined with great authority by Mr Díaz de Mera – to Council Regulation (EC) No 377/2004 on the creation of an immigration liaison officers’ network, in order to create the necessary synergies between this important instrument for cooperation and the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex), which was only created at a later stage.
As representatives of the Member States abroad, it falls to the liaison officers – currently posted in more than 130 third countries – to maintain the necessary contacts with the authorities of the host country, so as to contribute to preventing and combating illegal immigration for returning illegal immigrants and managing legal immigration. As Frontex does not have permanent representatives outside Union territory, there is no longer any doubt about how important such cooperation has become. Frontex must, on the basis of information gathered by the liaison officers, go ahead with the risk analyses and with strengthening operational cooperation between Member States and third countries.
The information obtained by these networks will then be transmitted using ICONet – a secure information network to coordinate the services responsible for the management of flows of migrants in Member States – and, at the same time, will enable these networks to benefit from the funds available from the European External Borders Fund.
As Mr Díaz de Mera must already be wondering why I have not yet mentioned it, I should like to stress that he has done an excellent job, not just in terms of the quality and effort he has put in, as he always does with these reports, but also because of the efforts he has made towards reaching agreement on this important issue at first reading."@en1
