Après la conclusion de l'accord en Bulgarie, j'ai fait l'objet, à ma grande surprise, de critiques publiques de la part d'États membres qui estimaient que l'accord était beaucoup trop dur et allait trop loin pour la Bulgarie et que les normes de sécurité de cette centrale n'étaient pas aussi mauvaise que ne le prétendait la Commission.
I was very surprised to learn that I was openly criticised by some Member States following the conclusion of the agreement in Bulgaria, because this agreement was said to be too hard on Bulgaria and to go far too far, and because safety standards at these power stations were said not to be as bad as the Commission was claiming.
