The European Commission has declared that it continues to fully support Bulgaria's and Romania's accession to the Schengen area as well as the European Presidency's efforts in this direction.

“Following the Council conclusion in June 2011 that both Bulgaria and Romania fulfil the
criteria to apply in full the Schengen acquis, further measures were implemented which would
contribute to their accession,” the Commission has stated in its third biannual report on the functioning of the Schengen area.

“Still, the Council has not been able to decide on the lifting of control at the internal borders to these countries.”

The Commission presented its third Schengen 'health check', a biannual overview on the functioning of the Schengen area, on Monday.
