"To tell the truth, I am not able to give any precise details on the number of children in Romanian orphanages. It goes without saying, however, that there are tens of thousands. I also agree that one way – a humane way – of providing some kind of future for these unfortunate children would be to speed up the adoption procedure. However, I also said that I believe this is a serious political problem for the new Romanian Government, which is dogged by what has happened in the past. This government is taking great steps to produce legislation on and to put some kind of order into this issue of adoption which, I might add, is extraordinarily sensitive inasmuch as it affects the whole of Romanian society. Therefore, I think that we must be prepared to give this government the benefit of the doubt and have faith that Mr Nastase and his government will implement this new legislation and be able to re-establish the pace of adoptions that existed before.
The principle of retroactivity is one option for the Romanian Government, which can, if it wants, apply the old legislation, or wait to apply the new legislation. In any event, we have already reached the compromise that children allocated under the old legislation will be delivered to the corresponding families, and this is what is actually happening at the moment."@en1
