lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are sticking to January 2007 as the date for accession, but attaching to that date conditions that must be satisfied by October. It is a winding road the Commission is pursuing here. It is clearly suffering under the burden of its own past mistakes. We are eager to see, Commissioner, how you will explain to us in October that the hurdles you have erected here today have now been overcome. It was a great mistake to set 2007 as the date for accession when it was still unclear whether it could ever be met. The Commission is now trying rather desperately to find a way out of this into which it has got itself. Of course the proposal you have made today is sensible given the circumstances. That is why I am supporting it despite all its weaknesses. I will confine myself to a few remarks about Romania, since I have been there with a CDU/CSU delegation. Under the leadership of President Basescu and Prime Minister Popescu-Tariceanu, a determined and serious reform process has begun there, affecting home affairs, the judiciary and the fight against corruption. It has not been completed yet. The conditions are not yet fully satisfied. The corruption trials have not yet been finally concluded, but they are seriously under way and it will take time. I think it is important that we send this government a signal to continue determinedly down this road to reform. That is important. Romania is a European-minded country through and through. It will be a good ally for us in the European Union. There is a German minority there whose rights are satisfactorily enshrined in law. The law on minorities is an example to others. That is why, Commissioner, I would urge you to encourage the government to continue its process of reform."@en1
