lpv:translated text	". The CSU Members of the European Parliament are of the firm belief that Romania should become a member of the EU. At the same time, however, the CSU has always maintained that countries must meet certain criteria before they join the EU. We are opposed to these criteria being watered down in any way, and we do not believe it is currently possible to carry out a final assessment of whether they have been met. The Commission’s latest progress reports confirm that Romania has a great deal of ground to cover before it meets the accession criteria, in particular with regard to the fight against corruption and the establishment of a judiciary operating under the rule of law. Another matter of some concern to the CSU is the safeguarding of Parliament’s rights, which are enshrined in the Treaties. This applies in particular to its budgetary rights, which we have now learnt will be respected. In our opinion, it would have been more appropriate to delay the decision on accession until the Commission has presented its next progress report. The fact that we are still 20 months away from the envisaged date of accession would have been further justification for such a delay. For all the above reasons, the CSU Members cannot at this time vote in favour of Romania joining the European Union."@en1
