"Mr President, all I can say about 1999 is this: how wonderful to feel the Portuguese summer after the Finnish winter. I hope that it works out. The Tampere Summit was certainly an important milestone in 1999 for Europe, and for the area of freedom, security and justice in particular. Numerous questions are still outstanding. Answers are still awaited. Since Tampere, there has been an imbalance between positive action and mere declarations of intent.
Regulations on nationality and the integration of people from third countries are still outstanding. On the other hand, quite specific action has been called for on the subject of safety of life. The creation of a Charter of Fundamental Rights will be one of the important projects in the immediate future. However, it is difficult to predict what the content of this charter will be and how it will be implemented legally when you think of the people who are not currently citizens of the Union.
The Europol agreement has now officially entered into force. In Tampere, the question of granting operational powers was discussed. We continue to demand a review of the agreement in order to incorporate better parliamentary and judicial control. The agreement also attracts criticism with regard to EURODAC. Parliament has amended the contractual text. Care must be taken to ensure that the Council complies with Parliament’s
. Unfortunately, no initiatives have yet materialised regarding other matters and we still await them.
Europe as an area of freedom, security and justice has so far been an area with no clear regulation in important sectors. And yet we owe this to the citizens of Europe. Having listened to the justice and home affairs ministers, I am optimistic and I am assuming that we will succeed in the next six months."@en1
