"Anyone who has ever travelled outside the European Union cannot fail to notice how the freedom of movement that we enjoy within the EU has substantially improved our lives. The end to internal borders is an important incentive to the mobility of goods and people. The ability to travel relatively easily within the Union places all the more importance on our external borders, and on the need to adopt, without compunction, a policy regarding entry into Europe that is adequate, first and foremost, to the needs of the Member States’ citizens. While we should always treat those seeking entry into our countries humanely and respect their human rights, I believe that the EU is right to thoroughly analyse which countries can be included on the positive list. In this respect, the inclusion of Taiwan on the aforementioned list seems reasonable to me, bearing in mind the island’s levels of human and economic development, as well as the fact that the rule of law is properly applied there."@en1
