"I voted against this resolution because, in my opinion, Romania and Bulgaria still do not respect some basic requirements. Moreover, I am not alone in this opinion: other countries such as Finland and the Netherlands used their veto in the Council against these two countries joining the Schengen area. No adequate guarantees on fighting criminality and corruption have been put in place. Moreover, huge concerns remain about the ability of these two Member States to ensure that their external borders are respected. We cannot accept weaknesses in this area, since we would risk an even greater invasion of non-EU citizens across the external borders of Romania and Bulgaria. Firstly, these problems have to be resolved; then – and only then – can we think about them joining Schengen."@en1
