EC May Present Bulgaria, Romania CVM Reports Jan. 27

Brussels, January 8 (BTA correspondent Nikolay Jeliazkov) - The European Commission is likely to present this year's reports on Bulgaria and Romania under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) on January 27, an EC spokesperson said.

The reports assessing the two countries' progress in judicial reform and in fighting corruption and organized crime may be released on another date but it will still be in January.

EC sources confirmed that these were certain to be one of the last CVM reports. Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in 2015 his intention was to end the mechanism in its present form by 2019.
