lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European policy of open borders is increasingly turning into the free movement of criminals. The Netherlands, too, is facing problems with Central and Eastern European criminals. In Amsterdam, 90% of all suspects are not from the Netherlands, but from Poland, Romania, Lithuania and Bulgaria. I have asked the Commission to look at these figures, but it has refused to do so. Nevertheless, it is clear to everyone that open borders are causing problems. Mr President, in 2004 the Commission was cheering as countries that were not ready to join the EU did so. The Commission and this Parliament, too, do not want to see any problems. Switzerland, on the other hand, is seeing a problem and taking action, and is an example to us all. Switzerland sovereign, Switzerland a stable currency, it is a country with little corruption and has shown, with its ban on minarets, that its democracy working. The Swiss are still in a position to choose and Switzerland can still fight for the interests of its citizens. I therefore call on the Commission to show respect towards Switzerland’s decision, to look at the figures from Amsterdam and to face head-on the problems of open borders."@en1
