"Mr President, the core measures being introduced and taken on the basis of the Hague principles do not safeguard everything being proclaimed. How can you reconcile the basic objective of the application of policies to defend human rights with the incorporation of biometric data in citizens' passports? How can it be considered right to take decisions which infringe basic freedoms?
The Hague programme to emerge from the conclusions of the European Council in November says security is urgent and is a priority objective, especially in the light of the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 in the USA and 11 March in Madrid.
The way forward being chosen by the Union is to sacrifice human freedoms. The Hague programme is being used to serve the policy of separating its citizens from those of third countries, who are being constantly photographed as a source of more evil. The Union itself, in the name of freedom and justice, is promoting xenophobia and is building walls, classifying citizens from developing countries as a different category of people.
On this basis, therefore, we consider that the Hague programme is sick, not only in its application but, more importantly, in general."@en1
