"This report introduces amendments on the management of the EU’s external borders, stepping up controls on them, notably through the creation of teams of European border guards. It also establishes that Member States are obliged to contribute personnel and material resources. As we know, the European Union’s external borders will become an issue of joint responsibility, especially in the Schengen area. The Commission and Parliament are, therefore, justifying the measures proposed in this report with the need created for their integrated and uniform management, ensuring ‘a high level of control and surveillance’. This constitutes new steps towards the consolidation of a repressive immigration policy and stepping up resources, thus giving more power to the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex).
It should be remembered that European Union policy in this area criminalises immigrants and their families – above all, since the adoption of the so-called Return Directive, or Shame Directive – and disguises the fact that they are, in general, either fleeing wars that the European Union itself has been feeding, such as the recent and shameful case of Libya, or simply seeking better living conditions. We voted against this report because we disagree with this repressive, imperialist and federalist vision of the European Union."@en1
