lpv:translated text	". It was with grave misgivings that I voted for the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, because the reports about corruption in Romania in particular give me no reassurance about the suitability of this country for membership of the European Union. The way in which the Council decided on the financing of accession for these two countries, only recognising the budgetary authority of the European Parliament at the last moment, also detracts from the need to decide on the accession of these countries 20 months in advance. It is the geopolitical benefits of the accession of these countries that are the deciding factor for me however. In addition, the European Union has held out the prospect of membership for many years and fundamental changes have been made in the legislation. It is unclear what negative reactions a refusal of membership of the European Union would provoke. The accession treaties also contain safeguard clauses that can be used to postpone accession. All this has brought me to a cautious ‘yes’."@en1
