BRUSSELS (AFX) - European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso said the commission is delaying until 'early October' its decision on whether or not Bulgaria and Romania should join the EU in January next year as planned.
Barroso said their entry to the 25-country bloc is 'do-able' if they make progress in a number of areas.
The commission had been due to make the decision today. afxbrussels@afxnews.com vm/jsa COPYRIGHT Copyright AFX News Limited 2005. All rights reserved.
