Selvom man må glæde sig over udvidelsen af Schengen-området, så indebærer en fælles europæisk optræden, at Det Forenede Kongerige og Irland hurtigst muligt tilslutter sig de andre partnere og anvender samme normer over for personers som over for produkters frie bevægelighed.
Although we should be pleased about the extension of the Schengen area, the common European approach means that the United Kingdom and Ireland need to join their partners as soon as possible so that the same rules can be applied to the movement of persons as to the movement of goods.
