lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the legal basis for the visa-information system on which we are to vote tomorrow is one of those dossiers that has been finally brought to a successful conclusion after intense wrangling on all sides and lengthy negotiations. It is therefore to be hoped that an important European instrument for the acceleration and supervision of the visa-issuing process will be on its way to the statute book before the summer recess. Exchanges of data on visa applicants from non-Schengen countries between the asylum and immigration authorities and between the border and security authorities will considerably speed up the processing and checking of visas. That will help those travellers without criminal records who enter the European Union, including those who travel frequently to and from the Union, because they will now obtain a visa more quickly and with fewer formalities, whether they are travelling as tourists or on business. At the same time, it will facilitate surveillance, which is indispensable in a European Union with open internal borders. All of the political groups can be satisfied with the outcome. On the one hand, the European Union seeks to ensure that visas are dealt with speedily and hospitably. On the other hand, it seeks to protect its citizens by preventing illegal entry and the associated forms of organised crime. My thanks go the rapporteurs and to all of my honourable colleagues who have worked constructively to find solutions. Let me also say a special word of thanks to the German Presidency, which won acceptance in the Council for many of our wishes."@en1
