lpv:translated text	". Romania’s accession to the EU has been in the pipeline since 1995. The negotiations that have taken place and the efforts made by the Romanian authorities have led to significant changes in the country in recent years. Accordingly, the Council decided in December 2004 to conclude negotiations, with a view to accession in 2007. Nevertheless, I wish to point out the concerns raised at the time of the report by Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne (), around one year ago. I highlighted serious problems, not least the absence of the rule of law, high levels of corruption, no press freedom and the lack of an independent judiciary. These factors meant that Romania could not join the EU along with the other new Eastern European Member States in 2004. I support this motion for a resolution because, among the concerns that it raises about this country are concerns that I share. The EU’s doors are open to Romania, but the country must realise that there is an urgent need to find workable solutions to the most serious problems. I voted in favour."@en1
