Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the possibility of an intermediate solution – in other words Schengen 1+ – was raised by one of the delegations. This, in my view, is a solution worthy of serious consideration, so long as it gives us the added value that Schengen 2 will certainly provide.
I would remind the honourable Members that over a year ago it was the Commission itself that put this idea forward. In other words, why not look for an intermediate solution between Schengen 1 and Schengen 2? Such a solution would in fact be called Schengen 1+.
At the time, a large majority of Member States rejected this intermediate idea on the grounds that it would not be sufficiently secure, as Schengen 2 would be. Now, as you know, the idea has been put forward again by the Portuguese delegation. We shall reassess it, but everything depends on the added value it provides.
The next question is, ‘What is this added value?’ Schengen 2 will feature immediate, real-time connection through a central part in Strasbourg, a second part in Salzburg and the national systems, which will be connected with direct exchange of information in much shorter times and with much more secure personal data protection than is the case at the moment.
This is the main feature that makes me consider Schengen 2 the most advanced proposal yet on the table."@en1
