There have to be concrete results from the governmental plan for its fight against corruption and organised crime, and I hope the over the next month we would be witness to such results, because these are the areas where there is real work to be done.
This was said on November 12 by the head of the European Commission mission to Bulgaria Michael Humphreys at a forum titled Bulgaria's progress towards its recognition as an European state of law, Humphreys praised the cabinet with its plans, mediapool.bg reported.

In June the EC asked Bulgarian Government to prepare a plan of action in six problem areas, connected with corruption and organised crime. These areas were not independent from one another, but interconnected and could not be "swapped around" as would be convenient.

"The plan should achieve concrete results," Humphreys said

Bulgaria would still have to show that it does keep to the laws of the country, that the judiciary system works and the prosecution and police reflect efficiency. He underlined that while Bulgaria over the past years had achieved great advances in the supremacy of law, there was a lot still to be done to prove that the court system and its organisations worked.

This was why there was a mechanism in place which would allow the EU to monitor its newest member at least until mid 2008, he said.
