The European Commission will say whether Romania and Bulgaria are ready to adhere to the European Union on January 1st 2007 at the beginning of October. This is the predictable decision of the 25 commissars, which has been announced in the plenum of the Parliament in Strasbourg by the Chief of the Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, and by the commissar for extension, Olli Rehn. The European officials have said that at the beginning of October they will revise the progresses of the two countries that still have to take care of several important issues. "The Commission will see whether January 1st 2007 will be the date of the adherence. This possibility exists, if the measures in the two countries will be decisive", Barroso said. "We promised you a well balanced decision, which should maintain the rhythm of the reforms. Romania and Bulgaria must prove they have the mentality and desire to approach the remaining problems", Olli Rehn said. The Finnish recommended the ratification of the Adherence treaty to the member states that are still to do it. He reminded that the Treaty has clauses that guarantee that Romania and Bulgaria will adhere only when they will be ready.

THE CONDITIONS. Therefore, Romania still has to check four major fields in order to be sure of the adherence to the EU on the 1st of January 2007.
