"Mr President, I would like to say something today about the human rights situation in Romania, with specific reference to the MISA yoga school and the visa for its founder, Gregorian Bivolaru. On 21 October 2005, the Swedish supreme court ruled that Mr Bivolaru, the founder of the MISA yoga school, should not be handed over to the Romanian justice system on the grounds that his personal beliefs meant that he could not expect a fair trial in Romania. He was granted political asylum in December of the same year. Proceedings in Romania against 39 persons associated with the MISA school of yoga have still not yet been concluded. Freedom of religion and an independent justice system are fundamental to the European Union, and Romania’s accession in 2007 is conditional upon them. Romania’s and Bulgaria’s accessions are, of course, on the order of business for tomorrow. I think it important that this House should continue to keep a very close eye on the human rights situation in both the present and future Member States."@en1
