Details
The European Parliament adopted by 514 votes to 107, with 38 abstentions, a resolution on the application of all provisions of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria and Romania: abolition of checks at internal land, sea and air borders.
Members recalled that all the conditions necessary for the full application of the Schengen acquis were met by Bulgaria and Romania in 2011. With the Council decision of 12 October 2017, Bulgaria and Romania were granted passive access to the Visa Information System. In its draft decision of 18 April 2018 the Council proposed the full application of the remaining provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the Schengen Information System in both Member States.
Parliament considered that the proposal to split the abolition of internal border controls into two legal acts in order to set different deadlines for the abolition of land, sea and air border controls constitutes a significant departure from the text of the draft Council decision of 29 September 2010 approved by Parliament.
Members feared that the introduction of a two-step approach could have a negative impact on the future enlargement of the Schengen area. Indeed, the division of the Council decision into two legal acts (one for the abolition of controls at air and sea borders and the other for land borders) would legally codify the current double standards in the Schengen area, where Bulgaria and Romania have all the obligations and responsibilities of fully-fledged Schengen members, but do not enjoy the benefit of free movement.
The resolution underlined that the maintenance of controls at the internal borders of Bulgaria and Romania has a negative impact on exports and imports to and from both Member States and on transport operations to and from some of the largest freight and passenger ports in southern Europe, resulting in financial losses and increased expenditure.
It is estimated that the reintroduction of border controls could cost the European Union between EUR 50 million and EUR 20 billion in one-off costs and EUR 2 billion in annual operating costs.
In general, Member States are called on to take a decision on the enlargement of the Schengen area solely on the basis of fulfilment of the relevant conditions for applying the Schengen acquis following the completion of the Schengen evaluation process.
Parliament urged the Council to present as soon as possible a new draft decision on the application of all the provisions of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria and Romania on the basis of its draft decision of 29 September 2010 and, by means of a single legal act , to take an immediate decision for the abolition of checks at internal land, sea and air borders. They invited the Council to apply the same approach to Croatia.
Lastly, Members pointed out that the Council can only take a decision on the application of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria and Romania after consulting Parliament. They reiterated their call to the Council to notify Parliament if it intends to depart from the text approved by Parliament in its legislative resolution of 8 June 2011 .

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the report by Sergei STANISHEV (S&D, BG) on the application of all provisions of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria and Romania: abolition of checks at internal land, sea and air borders.
Members recall that all the conditions necessary for the full application of the Schengen acquis were met by Bulgaria and Romania in 2011. They therefore consider that the proposal to split the abolition of internal border controls into two legal acts in order to set different deadlines for the abolition of land, sea and air border controls constitutes a significant departure from the text of the draft Council decision of 29 September 2010 approved by Parliament.
Members fear that the introduction of a two-step approach could have a negative impact on the future enlargement of the Schengen area.

The report underlines that the maintenance of controls at the internal borders of Bulgaria and Romania has a negative impact on exports and imports to and from both Member States and on transport operations to and from some of the largest freight and passenger ports in southern Europe, resulting in financial losses and increased expenditure.
It is estimated that the reintroduction of border controls could cost the European Union between EUR 50 million and EUR 20 billion in one-off costs and EUR 2 billion in annual operating costs.

Amendment 1 #
Motion for a resolution Citation 7 a (new) - having regard to the study by the European Parliament Research Service on 'The Cost of Non Schengen': Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs aspects' of 26 September 2016,
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Recital Г D. whereas in its conclusions the Justice and Home Affairs Council confirmed on multiple occasions its commitment to base any future decision on the abolition of checks at internal borders for Bulgaria and Romania on a two-step approach; and whereas the adoption of that decision by the Justice and Home Affairs Council has been repeatedly deferred;
Amendment 11 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F Amendment 12 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F F. whereas neither the 2005 Act of Accession nor the Schengen evaluation
Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F a (new) F a. whereas maintaining internal border control in the Union or reintroducing such in the Schengen area has a serious impact on the lives of European citizens and all those who benefit from the principle of free movement within the EU, and seriously undermines their trust in the European institutions and integration; whereas maintaining or reintroducing internal border control entails direct operational and investment costs for cross-border workers, tourists, road freight transporters and public administrations, with crippling effects on the economies of the Member States; whereas estimates of the costs linked to the reintroduction of border controls range between EUR 0.05 billion and EUR 20 billion in one-off costs and EUR 2 billion in annual operating costs1a; whereas cross-border regions are particularly affected; _________________ 1a Wouter van Ballegooij, The Cost of Non-Schengen: Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs aspects’, Cost of Non- Europe Report, European Added Value Unit, 2016, page 32.
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F a (new) F a. Whereas according to a study1a by the European Parliament's Research Service "the costs linked with the reintroduction of border controls could range between €0.05 billion and €20 billion in one-off costs and between €2 billion and €4 billion in annual operating costs. This amounts to around 0.02%-0.03 % of the Schengen area GDP." Whereas this estimation concerns the reintroduction of border controls within the Schengen border-free zone, an equivalent ratio of financial losses and lost profit could be inferred for the South- East region of Europe, where border checks between Member States persist unduly. _________________ 1a The Cost of Non-Schengen: Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs aspects, EPRS, PE 581.387 - September 2016
Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution Recital Е a (new) Fa. whereas Bulgaria and Romania police one of the most sensitive stretches of the EU's external border (measuring a combined 3264 km) аnd the 'Kapitan Andreevo' crossing point on the Bulgarian-Turkish border is the largest in the EU;
Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F b (new) F b. whereas maintaining internal border controls in the Union or reintroducing such in the Schengen area appears linked to a perception of threats to public policy and internal security rather than sound evidence of the actual existence of a serious threat; whereas the abolition of checks at internal borders as a result of the full application of the Schengen acquis in previously acceded Member States has not led to higher crimes rates; whereas the Schengen enlargement of 2007 is associated with lower acquisitive crime rates in both the newly acceding Schengen Member States and existing Schengen Member States and has not increased the perception of insecurity among EU citizens2a; _________________ 2a Wouter van Ballegooij, The Cost of Non-Schengen: Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs aspects’, Cost of Non- Europe Report, European Added Value Unit, 2016, pages 28, 31.
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that all the necessary conditions for the full application of the Schengen acquis were met by Bulgaria and Romania in 2011; points out that this has entailed both countries fundamentally restructuring their border surveillance systems and investing significantly in increasing the capacities of their law enforcement agencies in order to meet EU requirements;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Regrets the fact that in the seven years since, the Council has failed to take a decision on the full application of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria and Romania despite the repeated calls to this end by both the Commission and Parliament, the Council failing to credibly motivate the lack of decision on the application of the Schengen acquis for Bulgaria and Romania;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Underlines the fact that the free movement of persons across internal borders is one of the main achievements of the EU; stresses that the enlargement of the Schengen area should not be negatively impacted by shortcomings in other EU policies, such as the Common European Asylum System; Points out that transport operations from and to some of Europe's largest southern civil fleet and freight ports, as well as the import and exports to and from the two countries and Schengen locked Greece are impacted by the waiting time on internal EU border crossing points, providing for lost benefits, increased spending and tapping the potential for European businesses and the European economy.

Welcomes the adoption of the Council decision of 12 October 2017 granting Bulgaria and Romania passive access to the Visa Information System and the Council’s proposal for the full application of the remaining provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the Schengen Information System in both Member States; regrets the fact that the adoption of these decisions did not immediately follow verification of the successful completion of the Schengen evaluation process in 2011, but was initiated as an ad-hoc measure to ensure compliance with the preconditions for the implementation of the Entry/Exit System, expected to be operational by 2020; considers that these legal acts constitute a step towards closing information gaps between those Member States applying the Schengen acquis in full and those applying it partially; firmly insists that the adoption of these acts should not serve to further delay the abolition of checks at internal land, sea and air borders;

Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Emphasises that the Schengen acquis was not designed to accommodate Member States with different legal statuses; draws attention to the fact that the Council’s prolonged inaction has created the need for making a clear distinction in EU legislation, relating to information and border management systems, between those Member States applying the Schengen acquis in full and those applying it partially; voices its concern that this legally codifies a de facto parallel existence of a Schengen area with free movement and a Schengen area without free movement; expresses its concern also that this differentiation will hinder interconnectivity between European information systems, thus undermining rather than strengthening EU security;
