De rapporter, som Kommissionen i dag har forelagt, giver os ikke anledning til allerede nu at sige, at både Rumænien og Bulgarien i tilstrækkeligt omfang vil opfylde betingelserne for tiltrædelse den 1. januar 2007.
Since there was a 20-month interval between the time of approval by the European Parliament and the planned date of accession, namely 1 January 2007, this approval was given in the full knowledge that in both Romania and Bulgaria, further progress should be made in a number of important areas before they can fully comply with the EU’ s membership requirements.
