History
Following successful completion of accession negotiations European Council concluded on 17 December 2004 that Bulgaria and Romania were ready to become members of the European Union.[1] A request for assent (C6‑0085/2005) was submitted to the European Parliament.
On 22 February, the 2005 European Commission delivered a favourable opinion on the accession to the European Union of Bulgaria and Romania.[2] As a result, on 13 April 2005 the European Parliament gave assent to the applications of Bulgaria[3] and Romania[4] to become members of the European Union. The parliament voted in favour of Romania with 497 positive votes, 93 negative votes and 71 abstentions, while Bulgaria received 522 votes in favour, 70 votes against and 69 abstentions.[5] On 25 April 2005 Council of the European Union accepted the applications for admission of Bulgaria and Romania.[6]
The treaty was signed on 25 April 2005, in Neimënster Abbey, Luxembourg.[7] In addition to the Treaty of Accession a Final Act was signed. The Final Act registers the results of the accession negotiations,[8] including any declarations made by the parties.[9] It also laid down arrangements for the period between signing and entry into force of the treaty.[10] Ratification of the Treaty of Accession is summarized in the table below. The process was completed on 20 December 2006.
