They also urged further reform of&nbsp; the countries\u2019 judicial systems.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Technical experts from the member states and the European Commission are currently preparing a report on the two countries\u2019 readiness for Schengen membership. Interior ministers will consider their report early in 2011 \u2013 they meet informally on 19-20 January and formally on 24-25 February. The unanimous support of the other governments is needed, so it is now likely that Bulgaria and Romania\u2019s accession will be postponed.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Speaking on Romanian television, Traian B\u01cesescu, the country\u2019s president, said: \u201cWe won\u2019t accept discrimination from anyone, not even from the most powerful members of the European Union.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>The Schengen area, which began in 1995, now comprises 25 countries \u2013 all the members of the EU except Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, the UK and Ireland, plus three non-EU countries, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland. <BR><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<footer class=\"content-credits\">\n<h6>Authors:<\/h6>\n<dl class=\"vcard\">\n<dt class=\"credits-author\"><span class=\"vcard\">Ian Wishart<\/span>&nbsp;<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Block on border-free travel for Romania and Bulgaria Interior ministers of France and Germany say east European states not ready for border-free travel.
