lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I have a number of concerns with the smart borders proposal. In particular, I am dismayed that the EU feels it is appropriate to invest colossal amounts of funding on biometric and technological smart borders rather than investing in saving lives, as required by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Thousands of migrants continue to try to reach the EU in overcrowded boats, risking their lives to escape poverty and violence. I commend the crew of the Irish naval vessel, the LÉ Eithne, which has now rescued over 1 000 people since it left Ireland. This illustrates the need for increased search and rescue activities. The smart borders proposal appears more concerned with the mass collection of data than with addressing this humanitarian crisis. It is imperative that the Commission prioritises the saving of lives, in line with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and forgets this smart borders proposal. ‘Expensive borders’ would be more accurate – serving multinational interests with the imposition of expensive machines."@en1
