"Mr President, I am an ardent supporter of European integration, which is why I also understand the notion of a united front against the economic crisis. However, what I fail to understand is why solidarity means that Romanian and Bulgarian citizens are asked to give their support to joint crisis recovery plans while, at the same time, restrictions are being imposed on them, which shows that we are not European citizens enjoying equal rights. If we were equal, we would all have the unrestricted right to work, regardless of which country we would like to settle in, and we would all have the right to free movement. This is still not the case because Romania and Bulgaria have not received member status of the Schengen area, even though the technical criteria have been met long ago. Therefore, my fellow Romanian citizens have, first and foremost, obligations to Europe and fewer rights, an imbalance which goes against the quintessential idea of Europe. Is the Commission planning to persuade the Council and Member States to change these practices already this year?"@en1
