Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
20th Anniversary of the 2004 EU Enlargement: Mr. Bertie Ahern
Mr. Bertie Ahern:
Ultimately, it will be a function of the Commission, as it is in these issues, to bring forward what it sees with regard to who has fulfilled the criteria and who has not. It has not done that and I think in the next Presidency and the next European Parliament, these issues will have to be faced – probably in the next two years. I think 2026 will become the crunch year.
