In May 2006 the Commission considered that “Bulgaria and Romania should be prepared for EU membership on 1 January 2007, provided that they address a number of outstanding issues.”
Mais 2006 leidis komisjon, et „Bulgaaria ja Rumeenia peaksid ühinemiseks valmis olema 1. jaanuaril 2007, tingimusel et nad suudavad allesjäänud probleemidele lahenduse leida.”
