The European Commission is to present, today, its monitoring reports on the progress of Bulgaria and Romania under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism, media in Bulgaria report.

This will take place at the regular meeting of the College of Commissioners which is to take place in Strasbourg because of the plenary session of European Parliament. This will be the last report of the Juncker Commission. Jean-Claude Juncker had promised that the verification mechanism for Sofia and Bucharest would be scrapped by the end of his term of office. Today it will become clear whether this will happen.

The media have been quoting EC sources that there has been resistance to the removal of the mechanism. The European Commission may yet drop the verification mechanism, with the progress of the two countries being assessed by a general mechanism for monitoring the rule of law in all European countries.
