With the two countries' EU entry in January 2007, the EC established a special Co-operation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) to assess the headway being made in meeting their judicial reform and anti-corruption commitments, and in Bulgaria's case -- in fighting organised crime.
S prijamom dviju zemalja u EU u siječnju 2007. godine, EK uspostavila je poseban Mehanizam suradnje i provjere (CVM) za procjenu napretka koji se postiže u ispunjavanju pravosudnih reformi i obveza na području borbe protiv korupcije i, u slučaju Bugarske, u borbi protiv organiziranog kriminala.
