lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would firstly like to say that Mr Rehn’s report and his work deserve the utmost credit, especially in the context of this parliamentary debate. I do not want the clear conclusions drawn in this report to be changed in the course of parliamentary debate. Romania and Bulgaria have, so far, done all that has been in their power to do. They have achieved what the European Union wanted of them. They have implemented regulations in the economic, political and social fields and have instituted the principle of the rule of law. The European Union and the societies of both these countries will now assess these achievements. I think that it is extremely important to stress the extent of the progress made by both of these countries, which will allow them to say that they are entering the European Union with a confident stride. During the period since 1 May 2004, countries such as mine have shown how to navigate accession to the European Union. I think that the success of that transition for both the old and the new Member States will convince those who remain sceptical. The fact that Great Britain not only had the generosity but also the sense to open its labour market immediately to people from Eastern Europe means that now, apart from Germany and Austria, which Mr Brok appears to have forgotten, many other European countries have followed in Britain’s footsteps. I would like to say that it is extremely important to be able to trust that, having been introduced, the rules of the game will be applied, and then to assess the situation. Poland’s example shows that the introduction of the principles set out in the Copenhagen criteria can be a good omen, but that these principles also have to be implemented once the countries have joined the European Union."@en1
