lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too should like first of all to congratulate the rapporteur on a very good and well balanced report. The report mentions both the positive and the negative aspects, the strong points and the weak points, which Romania will have to address. On the positive side, the report clearly states that Romania meets the Copenhagen political criteria, that it has strengthened the stability of its institutions that guarantee State democracy and human rights, and that the situation has improved in the field of protection of human and ethnic rights, with regard to both the Hungarian minority and the Roma minority. On the positive side, Romania also fulfils the criterion of a functioning market economy and, moreover, has implemented and is continuing to implement a programme of structural reforms. If we look at the economic results, the economic statistics for Romania, we can see that the country has one of the strongest growth rates in the whole of Eastern Europe. Naturally, Romania still has to make considerable efforts and make significant progress, however, before it can be accepted into the European Union. Both Mr Nicolaï and Mr Rehn have referred to certain aspects in detail. I should like to mention a few of them: the areas of justice and internal affairs, like everywhere in Eastern Europe, the fight against corruption and against organised crime, and also border controls. Problems also remain in the fields of economic competition, of state support and, of course, of protecting the natural environment. In spite of everything, however, I believe that Romania is well on the way. It is up to Romania and Romania alone as to whether it will manage to eliminate all the weak points in the coming months. If it does succeed, I am of the opinion that the treaty should be signed in 2005 so that Romania, along with Bulgaria, can be accepted into the European Union in 2007."@en1
