"Mr President, for our citizens, the Schengen area is one of the most tangible manifestations of freedom of movement within the EU. Romania and Bulgaria have the right, as Member States, to become members of this area, just like any other country in the Union. The standards and criteria for their entry must also be the same as for any other country. The final evaluation by the Schengen evaluation working group showed that both countries fulfil the criteria for joining the Schengen area and have implemented the Schengen in all seven of the required areas. As with any other measure, adherence to the principles and values on which the Union stands is also necessary in this case. These include an even-handed approach to the rights and obligations of individual Member States, and facilitation of the free movement of persons. The Member States and European institutions must realise that it is unacceptable to apply double standards in this situation. I would therefore like to call on the representatives of the Council and the Polish Presidency to start addressing this issue as soon as possible."@en1
