French European Affairs minister: we do not oppose Romania’s adhesion out of principle, but Romania and Bulgaria cannot join the next 3 months
At the moment, reports show that Bulgaria is not ready to join and since Romania did not cover its border to Bulgaria, than Romania cannot join alone. Wauquiez also pointed out the corruption in the two countries even if Bucharest makes efforts to counter it.
He admitted Romania’s efforts to improve border security, to counter corruption but he wonders whether this is the end of the road. He added that several other countries have second thoughts to Romania and Bulgaria’s adhesions to Schengen saying that France’s decisions are not easy considering the great friendship between the two countries.
