Owing to the lack of progress under its previous socialist Government, Romania is still finding it very difficult to be ready in time for EU accession in 2007. The situation in the areas of corruption and administrative and legal stability in particular is a cause of major concern. It seems entirely possible to me that in due course there will have to be a year’s delay. The European Parliament has been placed in the impossible position of pronouncing judgment 20 months before accession. At the moment however we can see that the new government is putting the required reforms into practice on schedule and also that the European Commission, as recently in the case of Croatia, takes a strict line in its assessment of candidate members. I am therefore prepared to give both the Romanian Government and the European Commission the benefit of the doubt. I hope that progress continues as at present, because only in that case will I be able to continue giving my support to the accession of Romania in 2007."@en1
