"I support the resolution on the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the Schengen area, as they have fulfilled all the criteria set out in the Schengen evaluation process. Both countries have redesigned and reorganised their integrated border management systems through a substantial investment in their law enforcement authorities. Bulgaria and Romania have continuously proved their support and solidarity and sustained commitment to be reliable partners in south-eastern Europe, through a consistent contribution to border security in these parts of the EU. It is of grave importance that we do not impose any additional criteria on Member States that are already in the process of joining the Schengen area and that we include Bulgaria and Romania solely on the basis of the Schengen
and procedures. It is now up to the Member States to honour their commitments under the EU legal framework as regards the Schengen accession criteria and not give the priority to national populism, and accordingly uphold the fundamental right of the free movement of persons guaranteed to EU citizens by the Treaties."@en1
