Reading, as I do, about the major problems that there are with corruption and organised crime, about the considerable differences that there are between the two countries, and looking closely at what the Commission has had to say about this, which is to the effect that Romania should press on with its efforts at consolidation, while Bulgaria has yet to produce any evidence of doing anything at all on this front, it strikes me that this is an important communication, and here we must act on the basis of ‘everyone on their own merits’.
Lorsque je lis les problèmes qui existent avec la corruption et le crime organisé, les différences importantes qu’il y a entre les deux pays, et lorsque j’examine de plus près ce que la Commission a dû en dire, c’est-à-dire que la Roumanie doit continuer ses efforts pour la consolidation, alors que la Bulgarie doit encore donner des preuves de ses actions dans ce domaine, il me semble que c’est une communication importante et que nous devons agir ici selon le principe «tout le monde selon ses propres mérites».
