lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as one might suppose, given the lack of transparency regarding the preparatory work, the conclusions of the Tampere Council are, as far as our Group is concerned, still disappointing in terms of their ambition and vague in terms of their conclusions, even in spite of a few interesting advances. Generally speaking, it is significant that the Council should have announced a specific timetable for the measures to do with the area of security. On the other hand, no clear timetable has been drawn up for the actions to do with an area of freedom. Our fear of the establishment of Fortress Europe therefore still remains. As far as measures regarding the right of asylum and immigration are concerned, they are still totally vague and not at all mandatory. The only good news is the commitment to the observance of the Geneva Convention and further confirmation of the fight against racism. Our Group is pleased to see the desire that was shown to grant similar rights to nationals of third countries as well as to European citizens. It is concerned, however, at the grey areas which remain on this matter. It is indeed vital that this equality in rights should be extended to political rights, to freedom of movement and the right to live together as a family. Europe has a duty to offer the same guarantees to all individuals resident on European soil. Prime Minister Lipponen’s statement regarding the future of the Charter of Fundamental Rights may also be cause for concern. Announcing at this stage that this is to be nothing more than a political declaration is tantamount to wiping out in advance the hard work of the working party. The compulsory aspect of this charter is essential with a view to the construction of a Citizens' Europe. Finally, while the Council announced that the scope of activities and the mandate of Europol, a necessary instrument in the fight against organised crime, were to be increased, what of democratic and judicial supervision, especially regarding the compilation of files? This omission is the potential source of future irregularities as regards our individual and collective freedoms. This omission must be dealt with as a matter of urgency by setting up a Committee on Information Technology and European Freedom."@en1
