lpv:translated text	"Madam President, a lot of fine words have been written following the summit in Tampere, but the prerequisites of these fine words’ becoming a reality and of our living up to the humanitarian principles behind them are that people must actually be able to get into Fortress Europe; that we must seriously begin to pursue a political strategy where policy on asylum can be distinguished from policy on immigration; and that we should begin to pursue a serious policy involving cooperation with UNHCR in solving Europe’s and the world’s refugee problems. I think it is time now to begin to see if Europe cannot introduce an immigration policy of its own, and I should like to urge the Council to do some thinking along those lines. It is also the case, however, that special situations demand special contributions – and a special fund was necessary to cover the special contribution we have been discussing. It will not then be projects already up and running which will have to pay for special situations, in the way that there is now a risk of Africa’s having to pay for the EU’s contribution in Kosovo. I should like to close by saying that I cannot support the idea of a scoreboard in the legal sphere. I think this is integration by the back door and a move in the direction of a United States of Europe by the back door. It is out of step with the democratic approach to things which I otherwise know from experience that Mr Vitorino is in favour of. If we are to go down that path, it must be by the front door."@en1
