MEP Vasile Blaga (PNL, EPP) considers that Romania remains politically committed to fulfilling the recommendations made in the CVM report.
At the same time, Vasile Blaga underlined in a critical note the fact that for 14 years, he witnessed the effects of CVM in Romania, which brought to our country both advantages and disadvantages: “On the other hand, as a direct witness of the application CVM in Romania in the last 14 years, I can say that it has brought many good things to my country, but also sometimes inaccuracies in reporting that have been politically speculated especially by nationalist and sovereignist politicians, but also by partners in the European Union who, even if informally, they relied on reports prepared by the European Commission to block our entry into the Schengen area ”.
In this regard, the Romanian MEP asked Vera Jourova if CVM will continue to operate in parallel with the mechanism on the rule of law: “For me, it is obvious that the two overlap both in terms of evaluations and evaluation methodology. In the end, it is democratic that absolutely all Member States should be subject to the same standards “, he concluded in his speech in the European Parliament.
