4.7 billion fewer plastic bags were used in the EU in 2022 as the year before.

Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area. 

Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle. 
 
I welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.
 
The Council’s formal decision is next.
 
Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.
