".
I should like Romania to be in a position to conclude negotiations as soon as possible, with a view to signing the EU Accession Treaty.
I welcome the rapporteur’s recommendations and warnings. It is important that the Romanian authorities and the Romanian people are aware of the potential stumbling blocks of the accession process. Let me point out, in particular, that safeguard clauses can be implemented in the event that Romania falls well short of meeting conditions and that accession can be postponed for one year if the
is not being implemented and the Copenhagen political criteria are not being complied with. I feel, however, that such warnings make no sense unless they serve to encourage good behaviour and good performance and never to set impossibly high thresholds.
I particularly agree with the rapporteur’s idea that the Commission must create a permanent mechanism to closely monitor and assist Romania on this road and the Commission must, in my view, continue to provide Parliament with detailed information on how the country is progressing towards accession.
The adoption of this report is particularly timely, following the way in which the presidential elections were conducted in Romania last Sunday."@en1
