lpv:translated text	"I voted for this resolution because I consider the creation of the Schengen area to be one of the European Union’s greatest achievements. Bulgaria and Romania have satisfied all the conditions for joining. The fact that certain Member States have chosen to block this process actually threatens the credibility of the criteria the EU has established. Both Romania and Bulgaria reckoned with the conditions as they exist, so setting new conditions now that they have satisfied those existing conditions is wrong. It contradicts European values and contradicts what is provided in the Accession Treaty. I understand the concerns of some Member States, but this sort of action is not constructive, and I am sure that these states would not want similar methods to be deployed against them. Both my group and I trust that a sensible decision will ultimately be taken in order to allow Bulgaria and Romania to join the Schengen area. That is in all our interests, and in this Union the strongest should support the weakest."@en1
