lpv:translated text	"We have just confirmed that we are in favour of Romania and Bulgaria joining the Schengen area. Reaffirming our position from before the summer, we adopted with broad support this resolution, which is urging all the Member States to take the decision to enlarge the Schengen area to these two countries. According to the European Commission, Romania and Bulgaria have fulfilled the criteria, and nothing should prevent their accession. However, the case is being held up at the Council by several Member States who consider it necessary to add certain criteria. On that, I am entirely in agreement to say that we need to look more carefully at difficult issues such as the fight against corruption and organised crime. Nevertheless, these criteria need to be applied in the same way to all the Member States. Meanwhile, a compromise must be found within the Council for these countries that currently meet the Schengen criteria."@en1
