This is a set of measures on crossing the external borders of the Member States, and which is concerned with checks on individuals at these borders, which I believe to be fully justified.
The system of separate checkpoints for citizens covered by Community law at authorised points for crossing the Union’s external borders is fully justified. Signs must be clear and easy to understand (E.U./NON E.U.). Furthermore, the authorities of countries whose nationals enjoy equal rights to EU citizens, such as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, must identify their citizens when these cross borders. We must also avoid using words on signs when symbols are sufficiently explicit. Lastly, the Member State authorities should be explicitly authorised to put up signs written in other languages or using other characters, particularly in multilingual countries, in ones which use an alphabet with special characters or in ones which receive a large number of visitors who use such languages.
These measures are suitable for their purpose and I therefore voted in favour of them."@en1
