"Mr President, we, the Liberals, support the accession of Romania on 1 January 2007. This is still possible, even in light of the report presented by the Commissioner. But serious efforts are required, indeed. The Romanian Government deserves to be commended for the efforts made in recent months to meet the requirements. The government has done a lot, but a lot more remains to be done. The reform of the judicial system is stalling; action against corruption is tentative and unsuccessful. Neighbouring countries are seriously concerned about the condition of the environment. The opening of the gold mine at Rosia Montana has raised further worries. In this respect we expect the implementation of the strictest environmental protection standards.
We find the rejection of the Minority Act by the Romanian Senate yesterday particularly worrying. We hope we can count on the promise of Prime Minister Tariceanu that the House will accept this Act soon. In any case, we will hold him to account for this promise. We hope that members of the Hungarian minority will soon be able to choose to study at mother-tongue universities, we hope that there will be a perceptible change in the situation of the Roma, and we admit that the Romanian Government has made efforts in this respect. It has done more than its predecessor, but there is still a great deal to be done. Therefore, Romania has a real chance to join in 2007. We would like Romania to join in 2007. We, the Liberals, and I believe all factions of Parliament, will give her all the support in this respect, but most of the work must be done by Romania."@en1
