"The Schengen area is one of the basic foundations of the European Union, strengthening the solidarity of the EU Member States and guaranteeing the free movement of citizens. Romania and Bulgaria have fulfilled all the Schengen accession criteria. This has also been recognised by independent experts. However, certain EU Member States have mounted a political campaign aimed at preventing these two countries from joining the Schengen area for reasons of corruption and organised crime. These wounds run deep in Romania and Bulgaria. However, slamming the Schengen door shut is not the best means of healing them. The abandonment of these two nations outside the Schengen area is contributing to the creation of a two-speed Europe. I welcome the proposal that the European Council should fully analyse this issue and take an appropriate decision. I would like to congratulate the Polish Presidency of the EU, which is also seeking a solution that is as swift and smooth as possible."@en1
