Romania s diplomatic relations with the date from 1990, and a Trade and Co-operation Agreement was signed in 199l. The Europe Agreement was concluded in 1993, and Romania submitted its application for membership in Following the Helsinki European Council s decision, accession negotiations started on 15 February In December 2004, closure of the negotiations was announced, and the Accession was subsequently signed in Luxembourg on 25 April 2005, which would invite Romania to be a member of the on 1 January During this period, the European Commission monitored all aspects of Romanian policies, and directed them towards the framework of Copenhagen criteria and the Acquis Communautaire.
