Madam President, I appreciate the positive remarks from Members of Parliament with regard to the accession of Bulgaria. Mr Posselt, Mr Maat, Mrs Dobolyi and others were clear on that issue. Members said that there are still a lot of concerns. That is true. That is precisely the reason why we have the framework, the procedure, with extra monitoring and an extra benchmark and, if necessary, an extra sanction, an extra safeguard for an extra year before the moment of accession.
With regard to the financial issue raised by Mr Maat and others, I do not think we need to be concerned. The financial consequences of accession are already covered in the so-called financial package for the years 2007-09. That is irrespective of the new financial perspective.
An important issue that was raised again today is the importance of having an individual approach to different countries. You know the formal position – one treaty for Romania and Bulgaria. It is important, and necessary, to differentiate. That is precisely what we want to do in the wording of the conclusions next Thursday or Friday in the Council, concentrating on the different chapters. If necessary we can differentiate at the moment of actual accession, because there is the possibility of postponing accession for a maximum of one year.
I thank the rapporteur, Mr Van Orden, for his adequate and balanced report. I really welcome its conclusions."@en1
