"Mr President, the fact that neither Bulgaria nor Romania have completely finished their homework should not come as a surprise to anyone, for it is a Herculean task. The two countries should not, though, become the victim of the Union’s internal problems or of a lack of solidarity. I heard the Commissioner also mention ‘absorption capacity’. I really do not know the criteria against which this would have to be verified. Also, I think that the agreements that have been reached should actually be implemented. When our parliamentary committee visited Sofia, we saw for ourselves how much effort people are making in order to achieve the goal, and I think that we should support the reformers.
The Commissioner tells us that specific examples will be given of what precisely will be expected of those countries. We really hope that they will be, that the criteria will be detailed and, above all, that those who are politically responsible in those countries will be backed in any way possible so that they can keep to the 1 January 2007 deadline. The Commission should not hide behind the Council any longer. It should come to us with a clear opinion."@en1
