lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Robert Schuman concludes his book with the words ‘Europe is in search of itself’. This thought is just as relevant for the European Community today as it was then. Of all the challenges facing Europe today, the two most important areas are the Lisbon Programme and the programme aimed at establishing an area of freedom, security and justice. I am convinced that these two fields are closely interconnected and mutually reinforce each other, and at the same time, that their success is interdependent. While on this subject, one cannot escape the importance of taking action against illegal migration. Many people believe that one of the most important ways of doing this – in tandem with strengthening cooperation between border authorities and home affairs authorities – is to steer illegal migration in the direction of legal migration. This would alleviate Europe’s demographic problems, but at the same time it could also help boost economic growth by providing a much-needed new labour supply. Migration of course impinges on human rights and values, and also on issues of discrimination and bias. Here I would like to draw attention briefly to the fact that 8 April has been declared International Roma Day, and that Europe’s largest minority routinely faces discrimination and displays of extreme intolerance. The position of the Member States on this issue varies, but this should not stand in the way of Parliament being able to bring about real change together with the Commission and the Council. Creating security and freedom at the same time in Europe will provide a better future for all its citizens."@en1
