"The resolution being debated must be voted for in the form in which it was submitted. Any amendment relating to additional conditions being demanded prior to the accession of Romania and Bulgaria is a change to the rules in the middle of the game.
My country has made huge investments to come into line with border security standards, and it is now being criticised for corruption, which is, however, a problem that affects Romania in general. Romania is fighting against this scourge, perhaps more than other Member States are combating other problems that are at least just as dangerous, such as the budget deficit and sovereign debts. These are problems which threaten the very existence of the euro area and even the European Union and, by extension, the Schengen area.
When the assessment for Romania to join Schengen was carried out, the level of preparedness was also tested, along with the integrity of the border police and customs officers in this area. I repeat, in this area, because I am not ever going to be able to say that there is no corruption at the border crossing points and at customs. However, the test was passed in this area. Otherwise, the conditions for data protection, the Schengen Information System, border control (land, sea and air), police cooperation and the visa regime could not have been met."@en1
