This report by Mr Pirker, which the Communist Party of Greece voted against, has started the ball rolling for the European Parliament to implement racist and xenophobic resolutions to keep immigrants out of the ΕU.
The Seville Council decided to create yet another repressive supranational mechanism, the European Corps of Border Guards. However, the immediate creation of such a corps clashes with the Member States’ constitutions, which is why the Commission has decided on a hybrid solution which it refers to as ‘common services to control external borders’.
It has also been decided to incorporate the Common Manual for External Borders – yet another purely police manual – into Community legislation, once it has been revised and made even more anti-democratic.
Finally, there are even plans to use satellites and radar to monitor the EU's borders, by making use of the Galileo satellite navigation system, while yet another service has been added to the repertoire of monitoring and policing services, the SCIFA+, which will operate as a steering body responsible for coordination.
What is worrying is that the report adopted by the European Parliament is even more autocratic than the Commission communication. The report equates illegal immigration, which it quotes as an example of a current threat, with organised crime, accepts the propaganda about ‘new risk scenarios’, criticises the delay in setting up the Border Guard etc."@en1
