"This resolution focuses on the ‘saleʼ of visas and citizenship to non-EU nationals. As the Commission has already confirmed, Member States have full sovereignty over the granting of citizenship and it is right that these decisions regarding how, and whom, to give residency or citizenship to, remain with the Member State. However, the number of permits issued under some of the property investment programmes which this report considers are increasing and information from national law enforcement bodies suggests that these arrangements are not always transparent or properly controlled. As a result, I do appreciate the concerns that have been raised regarding the impact these procedures may have on access to the whole of the Schengen area. Nevertheless, in light of the fact that the granting of citizenship is a matter for Member States and bearing in mind that the UK is not a member of the Schengen area, I opted on this occasion to abstain in the vote on the final text."@en1
