"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as you are aware, Romania would like to become part of the Schengen area from 2011. With this in mind, it has submitted to a number of assessments, five to be exact, four of which have already been completed. I would like to remind you in particular of the evaluation of the maritime border, which was rated so highly by the Schengen experts that Romania has even been presented as a model of good practice. However, we have one more test to undergo, and I am sure that we will come through it successfully. Taking the example provided by Romania, I am proposing to you that we look at the expansion of the Schengen area in a more optimistic light. In other words, we should no longer regard this process as a threat to the security of our borders, but rather as an opportunity for strengthening cooperation between Member States in the area of justice, freedom and security. I am pleased to note that these ideas also feature in the Stockholm Programme adopted last week by the European Council. This programme regards the extension of the Schengen area as a priority for the European Union’s internal policy."@en1
