   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
   Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,

               The plans submitted by Bulgaria and Romania and as amended following the suggestions made during their evaluation, fulfil the criteria laid down in Directive 90/539/EEC and, subject to an effective implementation, permit the objectives of that Directive to be attained and should therefore be approved.
