"As a citizen of a new Member State that has already been given the opportunity to join the Community, I should like to express my support for the future accession of Bulgaria and Romania, as outlined in today’s recommendations by our rapporteurs. I believe that both Bulgaria and Romania should be given the same opportunities as us, provided their citizens decide to take advantage of them. The necessary requirements must be met, of course, but these countries should then be given the chance to demonstrate that they have something to contribute to the EU, particularly since there have recently been increasing signs that countries will join the EU in future that are situated rather further away from Europe as such. Waiting at the gates of the EU is a powerful motivation, and evidence of this can be found in the increasing levels of activity in Bulgaria and Romania. What is more, we should not forget that Bulgaria and Romania belong to the Balkans. I believe that there is a far greater chance of peace in this region if the two countries belong to the EU than if they do not."@en1
