lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Bulgaria and Romania have formally closed the accession negotiations, but before they become Member States with full rights, they must eliminate the deficiencies pointed out in the last European Parliament resolution and the new European Commission report. The situation of Romania is more complex. The young government of the country is making serious efforts to eliminate the deficiencies and deserves to be commended for this. But they still have a great number of problems to tackle, in areas like the judicial system and internal affairs, the fight against corruption and organised crime, and environmental protection. Another crucial issue is that of the gold mine at Rosia Montana, although Foreign Minister Ungureanu had promised back in spring that he would solve this issue within six months. Another heavy burden is the Roma issue. The new government endeavours to develop an effective system, but there are still many irregularities to be eliminated, things that are completely unacceptable to the EU. When Bulgaria and Romania join the EU, the number of Roma people in the EU will rise by approximately half, and this means that a long term strategy must be developed. The situation of ethnic minorities has improved considerably in the past decade, but it is still far from being satisfactory. For instance, why is the acceptance of the Minority Act such a huge problem? The rejection of the draft law by the Senate yesterday is a very serious negative development. I would just like to warn Romanian politicians to avoid making statements to the effect that Romania already extensively guarantees all the rights of ethnic minorities. Romania is still a long way from this. It is true that the largest ethnic minority community, that of the one and a half million Hungarians, has seen considerable development. Hungarians are present in the government and in public administration, and can therefore have their say in the internal and foreign policy of the country. As the representative of the Hungarian community in Slovakia, I would definitely like to see the Hungarian community in Romania join the EU as soon as possible, to live as Eurocitizens and enjoy the opportunities offered by the Union. It is the task of the European Parliament to inspect all of this consistently, but at the same time it must also provide maximum assistance. I trust that the safeguard clause included in our resolution will not have to be applied."@en1
