lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, I too agree with everyone in this Chamber who has stressed that, only with the accession of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007 will the fifth enlargement be complete. It is important that we remember this. Throughout the accession procedure, both Bulgaria and Romania have achieved a great many things. There are without doubt still a number of matters outstanding, but the fact that they have achieved this much illustrates the political will of both countries to honour the commitments which they made towards the European Union, so that they can become full and active members of the European family. As far as Bulgaria is concerned, I have two comments to make: the first comment concerns the Kozloduy nuclear power station. I believe that Bulgaria should honour the commitment it made when it signed the Accession Treaty and close units 3 and 4. At the same time, however, I consider that Bulgaria needs help in filling the energy vacuum which will be created, help like that which is to be given to Slovakia, according to my sources, so that it can honour its commitments relating to nuclear energy. My second comment concerns the strategic position of Bulgaria on the external borders of the European Union. I believe that it is very important, precisely because with Bulgaria we shall have new borders, for controls to be coordinated, in order to prevent and combat organised crime. Finally, as far as Romania is concerned, I too believe that the very important question of adoptions must be addressed in its correct dimension."@en1
