"Has this Parliament really not learnt from its past mistakes? The reports about Bulgaria and Romania, too, repeatedly stated that corruption was ubiquitous and that the strength of the police and the judiciary were totally inadequate. Despite this, the accession of these countries was still voted through, and we all know the consequences. EU membership and the associated massive streams of funding have further embedded the corruption that was already present.
For me, Croatia can be allowed to accede, but absolutely only when it is ready and when corruption no longer has society in its grip. Once Croatia has acceded – and, as you have heard, I do not think this should be too soon – a stop must be put to enlargement. The accession of all the Western Balkan countries, as envisaged by this report, is something that I find unacceptable."@en1
