"Since the Schengen Agreement was concluded in 1985, its five founding states have expanded to 25, 22 of which are European Union Member States. Schengen enabled the abolition of internal border checks between signatory states and the creation of a single external border where border checks on entry to the Schengen area are carried out. Bulgaria and Romania adopted the Schengen acquis when they joined the European Union in 2007.
On the basis of the results of the evaluations and of the monitoring visits carried out, the rapporteur, Mr Coelho, has reached the conclusion that all the conditions necessary for the application of all parts of the Schengen acquis have been met: specifically, checks at the land, sea and air borders, police cooperation, visas, connection to the Schengen Information System (SIS), and data protection. These countries should become full members of the Schengen area. This is an important step forward for these countries, as well as a strengthening of European citizenship. I am therefore voting for this report, and would congratulate the rapporteur."@en1
