lpv:translated text	". This report ‘on Bulgaria’s progress towards accession’ describes the underlying economic and political aims of the current enlargement of the EU. The report is especially illuminating on economic questions: it ‘commends Bulgaria on its functioning market economy’, ‘encourages the government to continue with its economic reform programme’, ‘welcomes the increasing importance of the private sector’ and ‘is concerned that any postponement or cancellation of strategic privatisation procedures may lead to a reduction of foreign direct investment’. In other words, capitalism is welcomed and criticism is levelled at any reservations about the process of privatisation and at any obstacle to the greed of the current EU countries’ large-scale capital in Bulgaria’s strategic economic sectors. Cynically, the report ‘calls on Bulgaria to remove the need for EU nationals to have a permanent residence permit to perform economic activities’, while saying nothing about the unacceptable constraints imposed on Bulgarians as regards their freedom of movement and residence in EU countries, even after accession. The report also alludes to Bulgaria joining NATO, planned for 2004 – which remains an implied prerequisite for accession to the EU."@en1
