".
I would like to emphasise the particular importance of some of the assessments contained in Mr Moreno Sánchez’s report and in the Commission’s communication. I am referring to those points where we are reminded of the challenge posed by the migration routes across the eastern border over land. I therefore want to highlight the fact that the EU’s eastern borders need to be given more attention and a larger amount of resources.
In fact, according to some estimates, around 25% of illegal immigrants currently present on EU territory originate from the states along the eastern border and they entered the EU by crossing these eastern borders. The European Union’s external eastern border is not only very long, but is also very difficult due to our neighbouring regions. Apart from the problem of illegal immigration, we also need to bear in mind the danger from organised crime, whose main routes also cross paths in this geographical area.
As an MEP from Romania, which manages over 2 000 km of the EU’s external eastern border, I would also like to emphasise that it is vitally important for us to give this border our full proper attention."@en1
