lpv:translated text	"In the field of justice, home affairs and citizens' rights the Slovenian Presidency has demonstrated detailed knowledge of the issues and has contributed to their successful conclusion with great commitment and openness. Today, for instance, the Returns Directive was mentioned. Some Members are not happy with it. However it needs to be said that it is a good compromise, a step forward towards a more appropriate solution to the serious problems associated with illegal immigrants. Moreover the framework decision on the trial of persons who are absent, or as we say here ‘ ’, seemed at first to be a routine matter, but then considerable differences of opinion sprang up. In the end we reached a compromise and in an hour or so we will vote on it in committee. The amendment to the code on the Schengen borders in terms of the use of the visa information system stipulates the use of biometric data in border controls for third country nationals holding visas. This is a very important matter whose implementation will contribute to greater security, and at the same time ensure the appropriate treatment of persons entering the Schengen area. We also harmonised this dossier after two trialogues and expect it to be adopted at the July session of Parliament. Overall I can say that in the area of security and freedom the Slovenian Presidency has, together with others, struck an appropriate balance between the requirement for greater security and the requirement for freedom. To close may I just add that as rapporteur on numerous matters in the area of security, freedom and rights, I can state that the Slovenian Presidency has met expectations on the political and professional level. I would especially like to thank the heads of the working groups in the Presidency, the majority of them young people, and their associates who have worked so well."@en1
