"Local border areas constitute a very important tool developed by the European Union to ensure that artificial and arbitrary barriers are not erected between peoples living in regions divided by national frontiers. We support the rapporteur, who is encouraging Member States to conclude bilateral agreements with neighbouring third countries aiming at the promotion of sustained contacts between the peoples living on either side of the European Union’s external frontiers. The 2004 enlargement has created an artificial barrier to long-standing cultural, social and economic ties between the inhabitants of the region at large. We therefore support the request to amend the regulation as formulated in the Commission proposal. This gives us an important chance to reiterate our strong commitment to the principle of freedom of movement and to support consistently and fervently the right of people to circulate freely. We therefore urge Poland to take concrete actions to ensure the facilitation of movement and avoid unnecessary delays or other routine complications which would de facto hinder the free movement of citizens in the Kaliningrad region."@en1
