"Mr President, during 2011, Romania and Bulgaria have proved through the strategic measures and decisions they have taken that they have the logistical and human capacity to guarantee a high level of security at the European Union’s eastern border and that they have met all the accession criteria. This has involved a significant financial input, backed up by robust actions aimed at institutional and administrative reform. We now find ourselves in the odd situation where, although the technical conditions have been met, which were the only conditions for accession, their inclusion has, nevertheless, been postponed indefinitely. Does the Council think that it is right for us to ask these Member States to implement these additional accession criteria right now? Rules are not made to be broken or to be changed in the middle of the game, nor can they be interpreted and applied in a biased manner. I believe that populist attitudes do not do Europe any favours. Indeed, such incidents may even set a dangerous precedent."@en1
