European Commission: Strategy Paper and Report 2003
Bulgaria and Romania have set 2007 as their indicative date for accession.
Negotiation chapters have been provisionally closed on the basis of this
indicative accession date. 22 chapters have been provisionally closed with
Bulgaria and 13 with Romania.
The time scales made for the implementation of negotiation commitments
take account of this perspective. As in the past, progress towards the
completion of the accession negotiations will reflect progress in the
adoption, implementation and enforcement of the necessary measures in each
country.
The Commission will strongly support the two countries in achieving this
objective, which will continue to be guided by the principles of
differentiation and own merits.
