    La Bulgarie et la Roumanie. Nouveaux états membres de l'Union européenne
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , numero 503, décembre ,  2006 ,  646-653
    Bulgaria's and Romania's joining the European Union of January 1, 2007 will end the fifth EU enlargement initiated in the late eightes after the collapse of communism in Central and Western Europe. The Commission found that both countries fulfil political membership criteria and that they are viable market economies. Nonetheless this year the EU is implementing safeguard measures: both new member countries should reinforce their judiciary system, intensify their fight against corruption, improve their management of regional subsidies and comply with community requirements in terms of food products. Some restrictions will slow Bulgarian and Romanian workers immigration towards Western countries: in late August, Great Britain considered closing temporarily its job market to Bulgarian and Romanian citizens. The EU insisted on the closing down in late 2006 of the two reactors of the Bulgarian nuclear power plant of Kozloduy, that Brussels finds dangerous.
