The EC supports Romania's intentions to step up its accession talks in view of their possible finalisation in late 2004, Verheugen said, but stressed that this would largely depend on the country's preparations.
EC sustine intentia Romaniei de a accelera negocierile de aderare in vederea unei posibile finalizari a acestora la sfarsitul anului 2004, a spus Verheugen, adaugand in acelasi timp ca aceasta depinde intr-o mare masura de situatia din tara de la acel moment.
