"Thank you, Mr President. Today’s decision is truly symbolic, and it can be experienced most keenly by those of us who grew up behind the barbed-wire fence, who were able to cross the border to the West every three years, and who today can remember the stomach-churning moment of crossing the border.
Hungary implemented the necessary legislation by 2004, the time of the accession. Since then, it has developed its system of instruments necessary for Schengen protection. The inspections have classified the preparations as excellent, both for the land and air borders. In addition, Hungary will take responsibility for 15% of the eastern border.
We would like to thank the Member States who have shown us solidarity, and especially the Portuguese Presidency, for this opportunity that is full of responsibility. We would also like to thank the Council for their flexibility, which has enabled us to solve the problem we had with Croatia, and which has also made it possible to resolve the situation of Hungarians living abroad through bilateral agreements, in accordance with their wishes and the approval of neighbouring countries. Thank you everyone! Thank you for the floor, Mr President."@en1
