Romania, Bulgaria’s Schengen reports to be made public

EU member states have decided to declassify the technical evaluation reports for Bulgaria and Romania’s Schengen Accession and to send them to the European Parliament.

The EP has stated that it received more information in 2007 when eight Eastern European countries joined Schengen than now with Bulgaria and Romania. It said that it cannot give a consultative approval on whether the two countries should join the Schengen Agreement if it does not have more information.
