"Although we have criticised and continue to criticise the Schengen Agreement, its meaning and its implications, we are bound to point out the European Union’s terrible contradictions in this area. As is acknowledged in the resolution, Bulgaria and Romania meet the requirements. However, they are hostages to populist discourse. This discourse is emerging and moving forward at the exact same time the social consequences of the dominant EU-level guidelines that have led to this ever deepening crisis are deteriorating. Since the Netherlands and Finland are blocking the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the Schengen area, Parliament is now expressing its opposition to the application of additional criteria to these countries, which discriminate against them and will delay their accession to the Schengen area indefinitely. This is a contradiction of all the discourse from Europe’s leaders regarding the free movement of people, goods, services and capital."@en1
