"The free movement of persons is a fundamental right which is guaranteed for EU citizens by treaties and is also the basis of the idea of European integration. It clearly has to be acknowledged that Bulgaria and Romania have substantially reorganised their integrated border control systems, although there are still doubts as to whether they completely fulfil the criteria for joining the Schengen area. Recent unhappy experience with the increased influx of migrants has revealed many shortcomings in the protection of external borders, and it is therefore impossible to remove the justified fears of some states regarding further potential threats related to the full opening of borders, such as higher crime rates and an overall deterioration in security and public order in their national territories. It is natural that any lawful state will try to protect its citizens and its internal security. For this reason, I believe it is necessary to respect the principle of unanimity, as far as the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the Schengen area is concerned, and to try and dispel the persistent concerns in a constructive manner."@en1
