"Madam President, the members of the Union for a Europe of Nations Group intend to vote against this motion for a resolution. The main reason for this is that the resolution aims at introducing a legal situation which goes beyond the EU treaties in force. The resolution includes a number of proposals which are directly inconsistent with each other. It will not be possible to stop organised crime, the trade in human beings, money laundering and terrorism just through co-operation between police forces if, at the same time, the doors to the free movement of people between EU countries are opened, both for EU citizens and everyone else, and certainly not if controls on the EU’s external borders are weakened, as will inevitably happen when the EU is enlarged. As a prior condition of creating peace and security in Europe, the EU’s Member States must work more actively to create this peace, security, economic growth and democracy in the EU’s poor neighbouring countries. The solution is not to use resources in a non-prioritised way to move poor countries’ populations to Europe, but to employ resources for the purpose of exporting European development to poor countries. Immigration to Europe helps only a minority and often a quite random minority, while the majority of people in the immigrants’ home countries continues to suffer under existing conditions. The motion for a resolution is devoid of any reference to these central solutions, and it is aimed solely at promoting federalist development in the European Union, a form of development which a majority of the population in my country, Denmark, dissociated itself from in the 1993 referendum on the Treaty of Amsterdam."@en1
