"Public Opinion May Delay" EU Entry of Bulgaria, Romania

Public opinion is certainly to be "a factor" for both France and the Netherlands in handling the option for a delay of Bulgaria and Romania's accession to the EU. According to an online edition on EU affairs, despite the official line that timing depends purely on meeting EU standards, France and the Netherlands will take their enlargement-wary public opinion into account when deciding whether to delay with a year the entry of the two Balkan entrants. EUobserver has quoted a French source as saying that no country can disregard public opinion.
