"Question No 13 by Doris Pack ()
The conditions governing the eligibility of ethnic minority parties in Romania to stand in elections are laid down by law: membership of at least 15% of the ethnic minority and more than 300 signatures in 15 of the different regions of Romania. According to the Congress of the Council of Europe of 16 July 2004, 'none of these conditions were applicable to parties already represented in the Parliament.' The Venice Commission of the Council of Europe stated on 6 December 2004 that 'the conditions for national minorities…to present candidates are…prohibitive' (Opinion No. 300/2004), that is, it is impossible to satisfy these conditions. The European Commission noted in its report on Romania that the registration of national ethnic minority parties for the elections was hampered by considerable administrative obstacles.
What additional information does the Council have concerning this situation in Romania? What measures has it taken to resolve the problem? What steps does it intend to take, in the light of Romania's forthcoming entry into the EU, to change the situation and ensure that national ethnic minorities have access to democratic representation in line with European standards?"@en1
