Powerful Romania lobby

In the news magazine Revista 22 British historian Tom Gallagher casts a critical glance at relations between the Romanian state and the EU. "A serious alarm signal ... was the success of Bucharest's [political] elite in establishing an influential lobby for Romania within the complex multidimensional institutions that govern the EU. Bucharest went about this cleverly by offering infrastructure projects to both economic players that have clout in Brussels and those parties that dominate some of the Union's core states. Thanks to this lobby Romania, which was on a long list [of candidates still waiting for membership], was able to join [the EU]. ... The EU Commission's report of 24 July reveals ... a judicial system that is largely under the control of corrupt forces. In this context it has become clear that the EU lacks the political will to impose sanctions on Romania. The social democrats and the liberals in the European Parliament have drawn ever closer to the power and interest groups that rule Romania behind the scenes. This reality makes the idea that the European Parliament, which is governed by reciprocal interests, will ever be capable of representing the interests of the average European citizen appear unlikely."
