"Madam President, the Schengen Evaluation Working Group has adopted all the evaluation reports for Romania. Its conclusions indicate that Romania meets all the Schengen acquis requirements. Unfortunately, the European Council is refusing to provide the reports to the European Parliament, thereby obstructing the operation of Parliament’s procedures. MEPs cannot vote without being familiar with the reports’ content. The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs requested the documents, while Romania proposed disclosing them. However, the Council is delaying making a decision without good reason. I think that, in this situation, Romania is entitled to provide Parliament with all the reports about its accession to the Schengen area. These reports are the only criteria which can be used to base the decision on accession. The request for other criteria to be added does not comply with the European Treaties, is not a European approach and is not based on sound arguments. Romania has met its legal obligation to prepare to protect the Union’s external borders and must receive the appropriate response from the EU’s institutions."@en1
