lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Tampere summit has finally decided that we must harmonise asylum and immigration policies, tighten cooperation on investigating crime and really construct a European judicial area. has been backing this in this House for at least eight years and so we are pleased that the Fifteen have begun to take a common position, and we hope that words will be followed by deeds. It is clear that without security there can be no social peace, and we must combat crime using strict controls on illegal immigration. Immigration is now a phenomenon which affects all European countries and, to prevent this causing imbalances or tensions in our national societies, it must be regulated and controlled in every aspect by common legislation. Creating a European judicial area means eliminating the inequalities between the Member States’ legal systems and changing Europe’s multi-speed image in this field. An area of justice will give form and substance to the third pillar and allow a more intensive fight against organised crime, in all its terrible forms – trafficking of women and children, paedophilia, prostitution of minors, the production and selling of drugs and prostitution. These have all been fuelled recently by illegal immigration. I think it is difficult to conceive that all of this can happen in the short term if there is no strong signal given out to the national States as well. In 1998, in Italy alone, there were 130,000 statute-barred criminal cases, and the magistrates themselves say that the penal code has failed and that the Italian judicial system is bankrupt. We need common legislation or we will not be capable of promoting growth in Europe or stopping the spread of crime. To this end, we must also address the issue of how to prevent laws on security being in force in one Community country but not in another, given that our borders are open."@en1
