Ladies and gentlemen, as has already been made clear by Mrs Neyts-Uyttebroeck and Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, we Liberals want Bulgaria and Romania to join the European Union, and they will do that on 1 January 2007, subject to all the national parliaments ratifying the accession treaty, which is what it currently appears likely that they will do.
Mesdames et Messieurs, comme Mme Neyts-Uyttebroeck et la Baronne Nicholson of Winterbourne l’ont déjà expliqué, nous, les libéraux, voulons que la Bulgarie et la Roumanie rejoignent l’Union européenne, et elles le feront le 1er janvier 2007, sous réserve que tous les parlements nationaux ratifient le traité d’adhésion, et il semble actuellement que ce sera le cas.
