"Mr President, I congratulate Mr Coelho for his well-balanced, objective report. The text not only reflects the findings made by the rapporteur when he visited Bulgaria and Romania, but also expresses the European Parliament’s desire to remain true to the spirit of Europe. In other words, readiness for Schengen membership is based solely on fulfilling technical criteria. This is the case.
Technical readiness, as a result of the good work carried out by Bulgaria and Romania, is a positive finding, which is also being made by us today. Now it is important for us to send a two-fold message tomorrow during the vote with a convincing majority.
First and foremost, there is a message for the Council of Ministers. By providing access to the relevant information, establishing a constructive dialogue and taking into account the view of Parliament, the Council will not only show its goodwill in terms of cooperating with us, but it will also send a powerful message about one of the guardians of European values, as well as about transparent cooperation and partnership.
A strong message will also be sent to Bulgarian and Romanian citizens. What the European Union is saying to them is: ‘Yes’ to equal treatment for all Member States, ‘Yes’ to identical rules and ‘Yes’ to the same consideration for the results achieved. I am confident that the Council can heed positive efforts."@en1
