1. Reaffirms that Romania's accession is a common objective of the Union and of Romania, making it possible, together with the accession of Bulgaria, to complete the fifth enlargement of the Union which began with the great liberation movement in central and eastern Europe;
2. Maintains that it wishes to see Romania and Bulgaria join the Union on 1 January 2007, in so far as the conditions laid down in the Treaty of Accession are fulfilled by each of those two countries;
3. Recalls the exchange of letters between the President of the European Parliament and the President of the Commission on the full association of the European Parliament with any consideration of activation of one of the safeguard clauses in the Treaty of Accession; notes that Parliament will take a position on these issues and especially the timing of accession, in the light of the state of implementation of the necessary reforms, in particular of the requirements of membership regarding the judiciary system and the fight against corruption, and on the basis of the Commission's detailed assessment of the situation next spring; therefore expects the Commission and Romania to work closely with Parliament in this regard;
4. Also expresses its wish that the accession of Romania and Bulgaria should take place in solidarity, while emphasising that the applications of both countries must ultimately be considered and evaluated on their own merits;
5. Points out that the reform effort that the Union has requested from Romania is in the interests of both sides, enabling Romania to benefit fully from the advantages of accession and ensuring that accession takes place in the best possible conditions;
6. Recognises Romania's significant contribution to the stability of the wider south-east European region and her continuing role in the promotion of regional security and prosperity;
7. Notes the assessment of Romania’s preparations for accession as set out in the Commission's progress report, and shares its conclusions;

31. Reaffirms its wish, supported by a strong political will, to see Romania join the Union on 1 January 2007, but points out that fulfilment of this aim depends first on the Romanian authorities’ ability to fulfil the commitments made in the Accession Treaty, failing which the safeguard clauses will be activated;
32. Calls on the Romanian authorities to make good in a satisfactory manner the shortcomings identified, so as to enable Romania to accede in accordance with the intended timetable;
33. Calls on those Member States of the Union that have not yet done so to ratify as soon as possible the Treaty of Accession of Romania to the European Union;

34. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States and of Romania.
