"There is no question that the accession process must not be allowed to come to a halt, given that all of us believe Romania’s accession is necessary as the only possible means of providing this people, who have suffered so many trials and tribulations, with reasonable prospects for the future at last. It can provide a solution to many as yet unresolved problems; many Romanian children – both Roma and non-Roma – may be freed from the dangers of poverty as a result; environmental protection, including the issue of Rosia Montana (Verespatak) may – I hope – be resolved in a European manner. Perhaps Romania’s Hungarian minority may even gain independence. Parliament must play a key role in this process. We must be rigorous in calling Romania to account, as problems are not solved by sweeping them under the carpet.
The Commission’s progress report in October provides the last chance to resolve any dilemmas that persist. The issue is such a serious one and our task so laden with responsibility that we cannot allow it to become the subject of political jousting between parties. The accession process must not be allowed to stall. At the same time, accession is only really meaningful if every citizen of Romania gains from it – including the 1.7 million-member Hungarian minority. For this to become a reality in everyday life, and not just a pretty catch-phrase, compliance with the accession commitments is crucial. It is this that will bring the much-needed modernisation to Romania at every level. This is why your responsibility is huge, Commissioner, when preparing the report, and so is ours as a Parliament, when it comes, we hope, to deciding once again on the report. These are the really crucial issues. As you said, Commissioner, ‘every day, every week, every month counts’."@en1
