lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it is to be welcomed that the European Parliament is examining issues relating to Moldova today, because Moldova is a small country that is somewhat overlooked by Europe. It is a country with a rich history, and a country where there have been clashes between ethnic and national interests, as well as cultural, religious, economic and political differences. Moldova is the point at which East meets West and Christianity meets Islam, and the point at which the interests of different rulers and powers have intersected throughout history. Moldova’s situation today is also difficult and complex. We must remember that this is a country that, following the collapse of the USSR, experienced a tragic war in the Transnistria area. This conflict has still not been finally resolved. Moldova is currently struggling with many economic and social problems. This sensitive region needs stability for the good of our entire continent. Stability can only be safeguarded by full democracy, the rule of law and respect for human and civil rights. Democracy cannot be imposed, it can only be supported, and this is our responsibility to Moldova today. The elections on 6 March 2005 will be an important test of the extent to which the democratisation process has progressed, and of the extent to which the common good will prevail over individual interests. These elections will determine whether Moldova’s key economic, educational, and social problems will be successfully resolved. These elections may open a new phase of development, and thus also give rise to the implementation of the strategy adopted last year for future membership in the European Union. The elections will also set new challenges for the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament."@en1
