"Mr President, Member States have decided to take responsibility for border security back into their own hands. The European Parliament will no longer play any role in this. Mr Verhofstadt, speaking in his own name as well as on behalf of the delegations of D66 and the Dutch People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), has called this decision a declaration of war. However, it is, in fact, the European Parliament that is waging a war against Member States. This Parliament has done nothing to stop the influx of illegal immigrants. This Parliament does not want to take notice of the problems caused by cross-border crime. Member States are making a choice in favour of security and, therefore this Parliament. Member States are making a choice in favour of their citizens and, therefore this Parliament. The fact that Parliament is opposed to such decisions only shows that Member States are being very sensible. Mr President, Member States ought to take a whole lot more policies back home, back to the national parliaments, which are the bodies that represent their people. This House, Mr President, should abolish itself. Not only is that a much cheaper solution, but it would also be a step in the direction of peace and security."@en1
