"Mr President, the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the Schengen area is of paramount importance to the stability of the EU’s eastern border. Secondly, what may be just as important is that this is a natural step after both countries received fully-fledged member status of the European Union in 2007. However, this decision must be based on technical practicalities and not on sentiment or passion. There are some governing parties in the European Union which believe that they can win certain electoral arguments if they oppose this decision and lay the blame with Romania and Bulgaria for the fact that there are problems with Roma integration at EU level. On the other hand, if the report concludes with a favourable outcome and the inspection carried out recently in both Member States indicates that both countries are prepared for joining the Schengen area, I would say that it is extremely important for us to continue supporting them, especially as we gave them a positive assessment not that long ago."@en1
