Tomorrow will be a decisive moment for the future of the #EU. Not admitting #Romania in the #Schengen area based on groundless arguments will go against EU unity and will fuel euroscepticism.
RT @EUCouncil: #JHA | EU ministers for home affairs will meet tomorrow to discuss:
🔷 Schengen
🔷 migration and asylum
🔷 Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine
🔷 child sexual abuse

Interpol is an #EU key partner in the field of internal and external security, including counter-terrorism, organised crime & border management.
@EPPGroup is fully committed to the establishment of formal co-op. Good exchange of views in @EP_Justice meeting with @INTERPOL_SG.

To address the flaws in #minority protection, we would need a common framework of global & #EU standards.
Notably in the #EU, the incorporation of the respect for the rights of national minorities in the annual rule of law monitoring cycle would be a major step. @UN_HRC

Glad that the MEPs largely confirmed that a constructive coexistence between large carnivores & livestock farming is needed. 🐺🐑🐻
Commission is to asses now the protection status of large carnivore populations. Our affected communities, farmers & livestock need protection too.

In order of a balanced coexistence with the large carnivores in some regions, including #RO 🇷🇴, the amendment of the Habitat Directive Annex is necessary. 2/2

Now when it comes to #Croatia 🇭🇷 , #Romania🇷🇴 and #Bulgaria 🇧🇬 to join #Schengen, suddenly the Austrian home affairs minister makes a sharp criticism that the EU external border protection is not working.
What this has to do with the accession of the 3 countries?

Loud and clear!
Internal political differences in some #EU countries must not come at the expense of the #Schengen membership of Romania and Bulgaria. All the conditions were fulfilled more than 10 years ago. @EPPGroup
RT @EPPGroup: 🚨We strongly support the @EU_Commission´s call to make #Schengen stronger by letting Bulgaria and Romania fully participate in the area!

Large majority in the @europarl_en for lifting internal border controls between the #Schengen free-movement area and #Croatia. We urge the Council to take a final decision.
