"Mr President, with the accession of nine new Member States to the Schengen area, which is a true and final falling of the historical Iron Curtain, the EU has truly given the opportunity to their European citizens to travel and fraternise in a reciprocal manner.
Last autumn I drew the attention of the Estonian public to the threat that the accession of the new Member States might be delayed until the beginning of 2009. I am glad that the European Commission has found the means to speed up the process and I hope that it has not affected the pertinence of the system. But, besides the positive products of this accession, the EU must be up to the challenge of managing the possible threats that might result from such a vast administrative unit.
The SIS is a necessary safeguard to secure the normal functioning of the Schengen area and it should definitely be left open to future complements. Now the practice might induce some new issues. Working off the threats and maintaining a flexible nature is essential for the SIS to address the challenges that this enlargement brings about."@en1
