"Mr President, I naturally supported this resolution. It received great support in the European Parliament. I wanted to explain my vote because I would like to emphasise again that the proposals being tabled and the desire for changes to Schengen are the wrong solution to the problems which have arisen in recent months. I think that this would be a one-off fix, a panic approach to a problem which requires a more holistic approach. The basic problems facing Schengen are that we need greater solidarity between the countries experiencing the biggest difficulties. We also need to strengthen the management and control of the borders within the Schengen area, and a new review could be carried out on the current status based on the same criteria also used to evaluate candidate countries. I feel that as long as Schengen is developing entirely at an intergovernmental level, such problems will continue. This is why it is appropriate to find a way for the European Parliament to play a greater role, and for the Commission as well. One example is the debate on the accession of Bulgaria and Romania. The European Parliament fulfilled its role in good time. Unfortunately, governments are still unable to find the right path to open the doors to both these countries."@en1
