"As we in Europe are currently enjoying the benefits of peace, and given that no wars are raging, one can only be pleased that the last meeting of the European Union in Brussels was termed ‘remarkably quiet and boring’. In my view, the Summit was highly business-like and of great importance for the idea of a unified and non-discriminatory Europe. By this I mean free movement without passport controls for all, including citizens from the new Member States.
Mr President of the Council, the Finnish presidency conveyed an important message to all Europeans. Within the context of the so-called Schengen area, the border of Europe will move eastwards as of 1 January 2008, from the Czech-German to the Slovakia-Ukraine border. The Finnish presidency set the necessary basic tone. I believe that Slovakia in particular, together with all the new Member States, will meet all of the requirements and that the Schengen area will be extended. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas."@en1
