We have not violated any European standard in any way, the acquis, and we have shown and in this respect as a sovereign state. I do not see how the creation of National Agency for Citizenship, with local branches and faster processing of citizenship applications for recovery in any way affect the European Union, as the Commission and Member States, he added . The minister said that Romania has made a series of border security obligations and that the first five missions to evaluate the Schengen acquis have produced positive results.
