"I voted for the European Parliament resolution on negotiations between the European Union and the United States with regard to the Visa Waiver Program.
I voted for the oral amendment proposed by the socialist Member of Parliament Lambrinidis, because he requests the exclusion of any form of direct or indirect discrimination among European citizens, including based on nationality. Thus, attention is called on the consequences of the lack of coordination between the Community institutions and Member States, in international negotiations.
I also voted for amendment 8, orally amended by our colleague Gacek. The new text expresses the European Parliament’s dissatisfaction with the existent situation in which only the citizens of 12 Member States, such as Romania, are not exempted from visa for the United States of America.
I voted for amendment 1 submitted by the Group of European Socialists, which requests the Commission to guarantee, under the principle of loyal cooperation, equal treatment for all Member States citizens as regards the visa waiver. I voted for amendment 2 submitted by the Group of European Socialists because it states that, at the meeting of 13 March 2008 of the Ministerial Troika on Justice and Home Affairs, the US admitted the Community’s competence to negotiate an international agreement on visa policy."@en1
