"The European Union’s external borders, either land or sea borders, protect all Member States from possible threats caused by illegal immigration, trafficking and organized crime.
The instruments proposed by the European Commission in the development of the Frontex Agency, namely state-of-the-art border surveillance systems, technical equipment and rapid intervention teams, are undoubtedly opportune.
Nevertheless, the effort of strengthening borders should be a joint European effort and not a single effort of the countries situated along the borders. Moreover, it is necessary to take action not only on the European Union borders, but also on the borders of the countries neighbouring the European Union.
I remind you of the fact that political stability, the development of democracy, economy and increase in the living standard in third countries bordering the European Union will considerably diminish the pressure on the borders; for this reason, cooperation with the relevant authorities of these countries represents a major priority.
The projects submitted by the Commission need adequate financing urgently, so that they can be implemented as soon as possible."@en1
