The European Commissioner for Internal Affairs, Ylva Johansson said on Monday in Strasbourg in the plenary session of the European Parliament that her message to the Justice and Home Affairs Council on Thursday in Luxembourg will be that Romania and Bulgaria must join the Schengen area with land borders by the end of this year. ‘It is the largest movement area in the world. 450 million people from 29 countries can move freely through Europe. Almost 30% of Europe’s population lives in a border area. 50 million people live directly next to a border internal. Thank you for putting such an important debate on the agenda’, the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs told the MEPs.

Lift controls at land borders by the end of the year. They deserve it. Time has come’ Ylva Johansson said, quoted by the Agerpres correspondent.
