Effectively implementing Tampere's promise of an area of freedom, security, and justice-and making that promise a reality for the
candidate countries scheduled to join the European Union (E.U.) in 2004-is certainly a major challenge for the E.U. It was telling
that at the Seville European Council meeting in June, the top agenda items were "illegal immigration" and "enlargement," but
there was very little discussion regarding the connection between the two issues and what specific challenges the interface
between them might present. I'm very pleased to be participating in efforts here today to fill that gap.
