This parliamentary report on ‘Romania’s progress towards accession’ is most illuminating and characteristic of the current process of the EU’s enlargement to Eastern European and Mediterranean countries.
I should like to highlight the rapporteur’s concern, when she states that ‘Romania has so far not received the stamp of approval concerning the full functioning of its market economy’, and recommends that the country ‘needs to persevere in its efforts of economic reform in all areas’. The report calls on Romania to ‘pursue its structural reform programme with enhanced vigour’ and to ‘complete their privatisation agenda’ in order to bypass what it sees as the ‘late start of privatisation and restructuring of public enterprises’. The aim of which, as the report explains, is to generate business that is attractive to direct foreign investment, in other words, to place the strategic sectors of Romania’s economy under the control of the large corporations from EU countries.
To conclude, I must say that, reading some of the points in this report, it is tempting to wonder whether, rather than giving ‘lessons’ to others, Parliament would be better advised to address first what is happening in the various countries of the EU."@en1
