The European Council of December 2004 notes with satisfaction that the progress made by Romania, in the implementation of the
and undertakings entered into, has allowed the formal closure of all outstanding chapters in the accession negotiations. Today, you have, I believe, decided to give your assent to the accession of Romania.
Noting the evaluations and recommendations presented by the Commission, the European Council has judged that Romania would be in a position to assume all of its ensuing obligations at the time scheduled for its accession. At the same time, the European Council clearly pointed out that the Union would continue to carefully follow – and I believe this has been amply stated this morning – the preparations carried out by Romania, as well as the results obtained.
The Council thus assures the honourable Member that, as in the past, the subject of children will be followed very closely. It is noted moreover that, in its 2004 report on the progress made by Romania on the path to accession, the Commission recorded steady
progress in the reorganisation of child protection, in particular as a result of the closure of outdated large institutional facilities and the implementation of alternative procedures.
For its part, the European Union has provided financial support towards Romania’s efforts, with a view to improving the quality of state-run child care organisations. Whilst there remains work to be done and improvements to be made, it can be said that, by and large, the living conditions of children placed in Romanian state-run institutional facilities have decidedly improved, and that the Romanian authorities will continue with their efforts to fully implement reform of the child protection system, as of course, all the institutions, and particularly the Council and the Commission, have called upon them to do."@en1
