lpv:translated text	". We reaffirm our belief that Bulgaria and Romania should become members of the EU. Before this takes place, though, they must meet certain criteria, which must continue to apply. The Commission’s latest progress reports confirm that both countries have a great deal of ground to cover before they meet the accession criteria, in particular with regard to the fight against corruption and the establishment of a judiciary operating under the rule of law. It is for this reason that we particularly welcome the efforts undertaken by the new Romanian Government, which is resolutely pushing ahead with reforms in order to overcome the delays caused by its predecessor. It would be premature to take a decision on the matter at this time, in view of the fact that both countries are still a remarkably long way from meeting the accession criteria, as well as of the collapse of the trilogue on adjustments to the Financial Perspective. 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. We regret that we do not feel able to vote in favour of accession at this time."@en1
