Romania, Bulgaria set to join EU in 2007
QUOTEThe European Commission recommended Tuesday that Bulgaria and Romania join the European Union next year -- but under some of the harshest terms ever faced by new members.
Both nations had made enough progress for entry after seven years of membership talks, the commission said in a report. But it proposed close monitoring of justice and home affairs, food safety and the disbursement of EU subsidies, saying a significant chunk of expected economic aid will be made conditional on the completion of further reforms.
"The accession of Bulgaria and Romania will mark a historic achievement. Their readiness is a direct result of the sustained progress both countries have made," said commission President Jose Manuel Barroso before endorsing the 2007 date.
I can't wait until this union collapses... lol

I don't see it collapsing anytime soon. To me it seems pretty strong. Unless there is something I'm missing....
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"
