The European Parliament adopted by 487 votes to 77, with 29 abstentions, a legislative resolution amending, under a special legislative procedure (European Parliament’s consultation), the draft Council decision on the full application of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in Bulgaria and Romania.

Parliament calls on each Member State concerned to inform the European Parliament and the Council in writing within six-months of the date of entry into force of this Decision on the follow up that was given to the recommendations that are contained in the evaluation reports and are referred to in the follow-up reports, which still need to be implemented.
