"Madam President, I wanted to emphasise that I voted against the two amendments tabled by the European Conservatives and Reformists Group because it is unacceptable to change the rules in the middle of the game, while promoting double standards against Member States.
I welcome the European Parliament’s fair and principled approach to assessing the Schengen accession process for Romania and Bulgaria. Yesterday’s debate confirmed once again Parliament’s continuing commitment to the major flagship projects of European integration, such as citizens’ freedom of movement, the Schengen area and the euro area.
I disapprove that political decisions in some Member States give precedence to populist attitudes instead of to facts and realities. Every country is entitled to make its own decisions. However, the European spirit demands those countries which are currently expressing opposition to Romania and Bulgaria joining the Schengen area to come up urgently with a solution that is acceptable to all of us."@en1
