Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill.
European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill
The Minister referred to Romanian and Bulgarian accession. He will recall that before they joined the EU in 2007 they had to clear various hurdles and various parts of their economy had to be shown to be compatible with the EU, but at that juncture there was only a very limited stipulation stating that, if they failed to do so, their accession would simply be delayed by 12 months. Will he go into detail about precisely what hurdles Croatia will have to clear, particularly any penalties if it fails to meet economic requirements?
