"Various points should be raised with regard to the objectives of the ARGO Programme, which is a programme that we believe should be rejected outright. The aim of this programme is to foster the communitarisation of the management of Member States’ borders, and of the policies on visas, asylum and immigration, with funds from the Community budget that require national cofinancing. In other words, this is yet another tool used to construct a ‘fortress Europe’ built on restricting the fundamental competences of Member States’ sovereignty. It strikes me that the implementation of this programme is one of those instances in which the overbearing eagerness of the most federalist plans is at variance with reality. This is firstly because there is no evidence that there is any actual need for the departments in the Member States – along with partners from other Member States – to organise and mobilise the resources required to carry out those projects and secondly because, as we have stated, given the monetary policy and the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact by the European Central Bank and by the governments of the 12 countries of the euro zone, Member States have not been able to mobilise the national resources required to obtain funding for this programme. As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining."@en1
