lpv:translated text	"The agreement on the Swiss Confederation’s accession to the Schengen which has been in force since 1 March 2008, explicitly anticipated Liechtenstein’s possible accession by means of a protocol. Given the open borders policy which has existed for decades between the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Swiss Confederation, it was expected that both countries would join the Schengen area at the same time. In fact, this did not happen, with Switzerland joining the Schengen alone on 12 December 2008. This ultimately made it necessary to put in place controls at places where there had been no real border for 100 years. In order to overcome this barrier, and given that Liechtenstein is part of the European Economic Area and the Single Market, I have supported the conclusion of this protocol in the expectation that Liechtenstein’s accession to the Schengen can now finally be achieved."@en1
