"Mr President, the report reveals that while the right to free movement and residence is the most widely known right among citizens, the petitions submitted indicate that this right is the subject of the majority of the complaints received. This means that it is the right to free movement with which EU citizens associate the EU the most, so we could also say that the dismantling of physical and virtual borders between Member States is the most popular achievement of integration. At the same time, citizens are the most sensitive to infringements of this very right. Indeed, the petitions received bring to our attention a high number of irregularities, but let us not forget that to this day, the citizens of two Member States cannot feel equal with the rest of the EU’s citizens. Moreover, they are not given a justified answer when they ask why this is so. The inexplicable delay in the Schengen accession of Bulgaria and Romania is a violation of the EU citizenship-related rights of the citizens of these two Member States. Would it really take 27 million petitions for this to change?"@en1
