The case of Romania, which is situated somewhere between the above two examples, was a difficult matter. In theory, Romania should be included in the second list as an applicant country with which accession talks have commenced. Unfortunately, however, it appears that a stricter attitude may be needed, since illegal immigrants living in several European countries originate from Romania.
À la limite des deux se posait le cas difficile de la Roumanie : elle devrait en principe figurer dans la seconde liste en tant que pays candidat avec lequel les négociations d’adhésion sont ouvertes, mais une attitude plus restrictive paraît malheureusement nécessaire, puisque ce pays alimente de nombreux pays d’Europe en immigration clandestine.
