Paragraph 2
2. Notes that the Commission has published a series of reports assessing the progress in Bulgaria and Romania of judicial reform and the fight against corruption under the Cooperation and Verification mechanisms and a separate report on the management of EU funds in Bulgaria, which highlight the need for sustained political commitment and implementation on the ground if the benchmarks set at the time of accession are to be met in full; notes also that specifically in the case of Bulgaria the Commission has provisionally suspended EU funding because of irregularities found through its control and auditing system; therefore calls upon these Member States, which have not yet done so, to take urgent action to implement the concrete follow up measures put forward in these reports.
