lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the delegation of the Hungarian Socialist Party supports the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union on 1 January 2007. This has been our recommendation all along, while not forgetting the numerous justified criticisms and recommendations. Our support obviously cannot mean that the Romanian and Bulgarian government are released from their obligation to do everything in their power to eliminate the deficiencies listed in previous and current reports of the European Commission and the European Parliament. Hungary will do its best to help them in this respect. However, I do not understand the latest report of the European Commission, of Mr Olli Rehn, which has almost entirely forgotten about the issue of minorities. Could it be that the problems raised earlier have been resolved over the past six months? The European Commission should call to account Romania, in the spirit of the previous decisions of the government, for failing to adopt the Minority Act, to return church property and to establish a state-financed Hungarian language university. Mr Olli Rehn, I do not ask for anything more than what you described in your October 2005 report. Commissioner, you recently stated that we cannot demand of Romania more than what we are demanding of current Member States, while in your earlier statements your starting point was different. The situation has not changed; has your position changed? This inconsistency is only explained in part by the fact that there are no European standards for minority rights. Therefore in the future, the starting point should always be the situation of the country in question. It is wrong to refer to old Member States, some of which – and I do not wish to single out France – deny even the existence of minorities, and if they were to apply for accession to the European Union today, they would be definitely turned down."@en1
