"On 22 September, the European Council meeting of justice and home affairs ministers postponed the date for Bulgaria and Romania to join the Schengen area. The vetoes put forward by the Netherlands and Finland seem to be based on continuing high levels of corruption and widespread organised crime in both the countries in question. Therefore, the argument runs, their accession to the Schengen area is still premature. That said, it seems that not much confidence is being placed in the abilities of these two countries to protect their borders, particularly their external borders. Important illegal weapons and drug trafficking routes run across these borders and Romanian and Bulgarian women are victims of human trafficking and sexual slavery to a greater extent than other European women. Bearing this in mind, could the Commission provide further information on this matter?"@en1
