"The creation of the Schengen area and the free movement of people within the EU are fundamental pillars of the entire process of European integration. This success, as well as the incorporation of the Schengen
into EU law, must not be threatened by populist or nationalist ideologies. The economic crisis affecting the euro area cannot be an excuse for changing Union policy and excluding Member States that demonstrably meet all the criteria.
Following their accession, in 2007, Bulgaria and Romania adopted the Schengen
and made the greatest efforts to meet the required criteria, specifically in terms of data protection, land and sea border areas, police cooperation, and visas. Following the positive results of the evaluations, which are a precondition for Member States’ accession to the Schengen area, the decision was blocked in the Council by France and Germany, alleging shortcomings as regards combating corruption and organised crime. I believe that the additional criteria requested contradict the fundamental values of the EU. We cannot apply different criteria depending on the country. In view of this, I am voting for this motion for a resolution and call on the Council to reach a decision as quickly as possible."@en1
