Bulgaria and Romania to join passport-free Schengen zone

According to the European Parliament, Romania and Bulgaria should be granted full membership in the Schengen passport-free zone.

The commission urged the European Council to approve the removal of restrictions in Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia, as well as their inclusion into the Schengen area.

The ultimate decision on Schengen-zone membership is a political one that must be unanimously adopted by all members of the European Council, the EU body comprised of the heads of state or government of all EU member nations.

After being adopted by the European Parliament in June 2011, it was rejected by the Council of Ministers in September of same year, with the French, Dutch, and Finnish governments citing concerns over anti-corruption and organized crime measures.

 

While France moved its support to Romania’s candidacy, Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands remained to oppose it.

 

In 2018, the European Parliament passed a resolution in support of both nations’ admission, urging the European Council to “move promptly” on the issue.
