"I would like to welcome the conclusions of the European Council meeting of 15 and 16 October 2008 concerning the need to redefine the European Union’s policy on its eastern neighbours, in particular with regard to the Republic of Moldova. The European Union actually needs to include the Black Sea region and, obviously, the Republic of Moldova on its list of political priorities.
We need to define a clear mandate for negotiating a new agreement on increased cooperation with this country, however with the very clear condition that there will be a need to record evident progress and for the Communist government in Chişinău to scrupulously adhere to democratic standards and the statutory norms of European law, as well as a need to respect the independence of the judicial system and the right of the press to free expression. Quelling the Communist authorities’ antidemocratic abuses and excesses, amending legislation in order to annul the provisions preventing citizens with dual or multiple citizenship from having access to public office and standing, and modifying the electoral code in line with the standards of the European Union’s Member States and the recommendations from the European Council are the preconditions for signing this agreement
Romania has been and will be the main proponent of the Republic of Moldova’s future integration into Europe and I expect the Moldovan authorities to take specific action in this direction."@en1
