"I just want to say that I am very alarmed by the attitude of some European Union politicians and Members of this Parliament towards the Czech Government’s negotiations with the US regarding the visa waiver programme. Although our government has not breached a single provision of the Treaties, it has become an object of criticism, moralising and lecturing. This is spite of the fact that the negotiations took place with a country that has traditionally been a friend and ally of European democracies, not an enemy or a suspect state. Some critical comments are difficult to explain to Czech citizens who have been waiting for the United States visa waiver programme for years. Those who wish to discredit the image of the European Union in the eyes of the Czech public are free to carry on with their insensitive actions. We should all try not to bring up useless negative emotions in this case because there are no grounds for suspicion and the security of the European Union is not at risk."@en1
