"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the arguments defending the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to Schengen have been discussed for months. They are being aired again today so that they will be heard by those who put themselves above the rules. We are reiterating today that refusing to admit these countries is unjustified and breaches the procedures, as they have proven their technical readiness. We are highlighting that double standards, even discrimination, are being applied. We are talking about a crisis of confidence in the whole EU and about political populism in the countries opposed to their accession. We are warning that we are about to turn our back on values such as equality, solidarity and cooperation. I hope that we will not become hostages to scepticism spurred on by the severe crisis. Otherwise, I subscribe to the idea of revamping the procedure for adopting Council decisions unanimously, especially when it is implemented to the detriment of legislation."@en1
