".
The Tampere Council set out an ambitious political programme for Europe, namely to build a common European area in which issues of freedom, security and justice would be addressed on a perfectly level playing field. The balance that was sought at the time, however, remains too fragile today. What we are seeing is a trend towards placing security concerns ahead of human rights. The fight against terrorism and against illegal immigration have clearly dominated the Justice and Home Affairs agenda.
The new Hague Programme of 2004 lacks a vision for the future. The issue of immigration is crying out for Community decision-making – that is to say, the legitimacy that comes from Parliament’s intervention in the codecision process – and needs a binding Charter of Fundamental Rights. Immigration policy must be a Union policy based on humanitarian concerns, prevention and cooperation with countries of origin. What is needed is commitment and solidarity between the Member States, based on shared responsibilities. Otherwise the policy will not be a fair one."@en1
