The European Parliament will debate on December 15 the report completed by the Parliament's Rapporteur for Romania, Pierre Moscovici, regarding the progress made by Romania, according to a press release on the European Parliament's Web site.

Moscovici said the report already adopted by the Commission for External Businesses is "encouraging, but solicitous, solicitous, but friendly."
The Commission's members saluted the important steps taken by Romania, but said there are still a lot things to do, especially regarding administrative reform, the judicial system, the fight against corruption and the protection of minorities and children.
The report asks for the quick finalizing of the negotiations by the end of 2004 and warns that the "artificial earlier closing of the chapters might hurt rather than help Romania and its people."
