Assessing whether a country has fulfilled the criteria for EU accession must be done on a case-by-case basis, even if one country happens to join at the same time as another. This must not, however, disguise the most important factor on the road to accession, namely that the criteria to be met must be realistic. This is the only way in which we can ensure that the EU – including all of its Member States – and the applicant country derive all of the potential benefits of accession. For this to happen – and I must stress this point – the assessment must take place at the right time, using objective and realistic criteria.
As such, I welcome the fact that accession can be postponed, should it prove necessary, not that I wish that to happen. For reasons of internal politics, Romania has begun its reform process later than would have been in its interests. The impetus with which the reforms are now being carried out gives us the hope and the belief that the adaptation can take place within the timeframe set by both parties."@en1
