"Mr President, the European Parliament is once again dealing with the issue of human rights in Transnistria. I myself have already spoken on this issue on a number of occasions. This territory is in the centre of what we consider as Europe, the centre of the European continent. There is no freedom of information in this territory. None of the liberal and democratic freedoms which we in the European Union take for granted exist. Russia is involved in the region’s affairs, as it is only thanks to the protection of the Russian state that this bizarre situation, this strange territory, this peculiar power is able to maintain itself. I would like to remind you that, this year, Gazprom took over control of Moldova’s national gas company
.
As a result of Romania’s membership of the European Union, the matter of Transnistria is, at the moment, one of the European Union's basic problems. I appeal to the European Parliament to ask the European Union institutions to properly take this matter in hand. I would like to ask for plans to be drawn up to change this strange and very dangerous situation, which is a threat to peace, democracy and stability on the European continent. Let us take real action to change the situation on the European Union’s borders."@en1
