BRUSSELS, Sept 25 (Hina) - European Commission President Jose
Manuel Barroso said in Brussels on Monday that a thorough institutional reform
of the European Union would be necessary for further enlargement after the
accession of Bulgaria and Romania. Speaking after meeting French
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, Barroso said it would be unwise to
continue enlarging further after Bulgaria and Romania joined without previously
dealing with the issue of the European constitution.
Barroso said he personally wanted to see Croatia in the EU as soon as
possible, after it met the required criteria.
