"I agree with most of what has been said by previous speakers. I too share their concerns with regard to the need for a calming of the situation in Moldova, and for closer cooperation with this European country. The Commissioner has mentioned several problems relating to the elections. We discussed these problems yesterday when preparing our resolution, and I believe that the motion before the House is an acceptable compromise.
As regards the problem of the media, I have information from sources provided by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that there has nonetheless been a shift. Roughly half of broadcasting time in the state-owned media is allocated to the opposition and half to the ruling parties, with this rising to one to twenty in favour of the opposition in the private media.
It also seems that the problems relating to voting by students have been resolved, since they will be able to vote both at their places of residence and at their places of study. There has also been a shift with regard to identification documents, as extensions have been granted both for passports from the Soviet era and for those about to expire.
In conclusion, it seems to me that progress has been made, and that there are no obstacles that could prevent the elections taking place democratically and transparently. It will, however, be up to us to monitor this."@en1
