"Mr President, the Schengen Agreement guarantees one of the most visible of the European Union’s freedoms: the free movement of persons. It is one of the most successful accomplishments of European integration, and we are all able to enjoy the fruits of that when we are travelling.
Changing the agreed rules will entail a far greater challenge than just a flow of migration caused by a few thousand immigrants from Europe’s neighbouring countries to the south. There is an important principle here, which is that the trend in European integration must not take a step backwards.
It is difficult to predict future upheavals, but the citizens of our southern neighbouring countries in the Mediterranean need our support in their transition to a more democratic society. Furthermore, the role of the European Parliament in its legislative work needs to be respected. It is about implementing democracy in the European Union."@en1
