I have felt inclined to vote against further enlargement, not because of the question of whether Romania is ready for accession, but because of the fact that I do not feel that the EU is itself ready for further enlargement. This is evident from the current impasses in decision-making and the suspicious attitude of various ‘old’ Member States towards ‘new’ Member States on matters such as the services directive. In consequence new Member States have insufficient opportunity to benefit fully from the Internal Market. Unbridled pursuit of enlargement without deepening will lead to administrative impotence and possibly even to an implosion. This does no one any good, especially not the candidate Member States, which have in recent years had to compromise enormously to meet the admission criteria. I express the ardent wish that with the acceptance of the constitutional treaty, administrative decisiveness and economic absorption will increase such that it is justified for both the EU and new candidate Member States to work together on further enlargement. Simply offering a juicy carrot and ultimately fobbing these countries off will lead to great dissatisfaction and given the objectives of political stability and economic prosperity that cannot ever be the intention."@en1
