". The main objective of the Tampere European Council was to provide continuity and to plan the establishment of the “area of freedom, security and justice” which was laid down in the Treaty of Amsterdam, with the intention of seeking greater coordination or even common policies in the areas of immigration, asylum and visa policy. In our opinion, this, and taking into account the importance of the area of public freedoms, justice and security, demands that the Council’s unanimous decision-making procedure be assured, with respect to the sovereignty of Member States. This Area, which has come to the fore in line with progress in dismantling the EU’s so-called “internal borders” and with the strengthening of its “external borders”, must not transform the EU into a fortress. In spite of the concern to establish principles relating to respect for rights, freedoms and guarantees in this particularly sensitive area, and that measures leading to cooperation are necessary, for example in the fight against organised crime and money-laundering, the traffic in drugs and weapons and the trade in human beings, it is worth highlighting the fact that we will have to be particularly attentive to the coherence and the implications of the policies and measures that are actually adopted."@en1
