lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too would like to focus on the progress Romania has made in terms of compliance with the Copenhagen criteria. I would like to highlight two issues. Firstly, I believe we should acknowledge that Romania is taking steps and making efforts to comply fully with these criteria. I regret that Commissioner Verheugen did not acknowledge this. As we all know, this does not mean that there are no more obstacles to overcome, but it is encouraging that those obstacles have been identified and that the Romanian authorities have taken measures to remove them. The fight against corruption, as the Commissioner mentioned, to guarantee the independence of the justice system – and fundamental legislative reforms, contained in the new Constitution, are underway in this regard – press freedom, the reform of public administration, etc. In this regard, I would like to say that some of the recommendations contained in the report by Mrs Nicholson, such as the publication of the report by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture, have been accepted favourably by the Romanian authorities and, therefore, I believe that paragraphs 17 and 18 have become obsolete. And, of course, of the remaining obstacles I must mention the protection of children in international adoptions. Secondly and finally, I would like to say that, while the adoption of concrete measures within the specific time limits is important, it is also important that all of these measures move unequivocally in the direction of full compliance with these criteria. This has been the approach taken by the ten States joining us on 1 May and the same approach must be taken in this case as well."@en1
