In view of the new rules of the Treaty of Lisbon, which allow Parliament to be associated with the conclusion of international agreements in a much closer way, as well as the fact that the reservations existing in the Council have been lifted, I propose that Parliament gives its consent to the conclusion of this protocol, and I hope that Liechtenstein can join Schengen as soon as possible.
Lissabonin sopimuksen mukaiset uudet säännöt antavat Euroopan parlamentille mahdollisuuden saada aiempaa enemmän tietoa kansainvälisistä sopimuksista. Neuvostossa esitetyt varaumat on myös poistettu.
