The Hungarian presidency of the EU Council asks that Romania and Bulgaria become full members of the Schnegen Zone by the end of this year, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban told the plenum of the European Parliament, in Strasbourg, as part of the debate on the priorities of the Hungarian Presidency.

The Hungarian head of Executive said that the asylum system does not function and that "if we allow someone in, we cannot ever send him back home again."

"The EU policy on migration failed, and we can see the consequences of this fact. Several member states are trying to find solutions. Illegal migration and the fears related to safety led to strengthened border controls," Orban said at the debate.

In this context, Viktor Orban proposed a system that will allow high level meetings between heads of state and Executive of the Schengen member states, the same as it happened for the Eurozone in 2008, during the financial crisis.
