"Mr President, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the plenary of the European Parliament have expressed their support for the entry of Romania and Bulgaria into the Schengen because they have fulfilled the established criteria (police cooperation, data protection, a visa system and the Schengen Information System) with regard to external sea and land borders. The Council’s failure to endorse their fulfilment of the technical criteria and its postponement therefore send out a worrying message, and this House clearly states as much in its resolution. First of all, this is worrying because it implies the use of double standards, which shows prejudice, rather than the use of reliable information, with regard to the proper fulfilment of criteria; secondly, because it casts a shadow that undermines the reputation, prestige and credibility of Schengen, in terms of what it is now and what it should continue to be: a space of free movement of people and, what is more, the best expression we have so far of the idea that Europe is about citizenship and free movement of people; that Europe is something more than just the euro and the internal market, and that it has a political dimension. That is what Schengen actually means."@en1
