Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill.


European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill

The Minister has led on to the question that I wished to ask. He mentioned application for Schengen and cross-border rights, but the Schengen acquis requires countries to sign up to a great deal of immigration and co-operation in cross-border law and other aspects. Is it expected that the Schengen acquis will be put in place part by part before the application, or is Croatia not expected to do anything in relation to those things? That is relevant as we struggle with opt-ins and opt-outs.
