"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I thank you for the information you have provided. I must tell you that this episode, linked to the Seville Summit, has caused a small political storm in Portugal and has been used by many opponents of the European Union as an argument against the European Union itself. Because we live in an area of free movement, the majority of public opinion in Portugal cannot understand how this area of free movement and these citizens’ rights could be breached by border controls carried out in a quite oppressive and arbitrary way by the Spanish authorities.
We do not want to make this a Portuguese issue. We are simply asking the President-in-Office of the Council, when he has the opportunity, to look into the matter in order to establish, not even changes to the law but common and consensual procedures to ensure that such episodes do not reoccur."@en1
