"Mr President, today, the President of the Commission and the Presidency of the EU Council have spoken about regaining the trust of Europe’s citizens. The seriousness of, and respect for, the commitments which have been assumed will help regain this trust. Romania and Bulgaria have fulfilled their commitments in terms of complying with the criteria for joining the Schengen area. It is time for the other Member States as well to fulfil their commitments and give the go-ahead to Romania and Bulgaria joining the Schengen area.
Romanians and Bulgarians have been moving around the European Union freely since 2002, therefore roughly five years prior to joining the European Union. Both Parliament and the Council confirmed in June that both countries had met all the necessary criteria and were ready to join the Schengen area. Romania and Bulgaria should be included in the Schengen area, based purely on the Schengen procedures and
. Additional criteria cannot be imposed on Member States already in the process of joining the Schengen area.
On the subject of corruption, a European framework is going to be established which will apply equally to all Member States."@en1
