"In Romania, the press, the fourth estate in any democratic state, is in the throes of a crisis. It has set a record that is almost unbeatable. Roughly 6 000 journalists have been made redundant in the Romanian press so far, with many publications closing down. How has this managed to happen? It is a result of intimidatory actions by those in power, such as press campaigns declared as posing a vulnerability to national security, and of the action of the Romanian Government to make all media employees, who are badly paid, to pay additional taxes. There is also another aspect, also noted by the General Secretary of the International Federation of Journalists, Aidan White, and I quote: ‘Romanian journalism is under siege from the country’s economic woes and employers’ greed.’ The future of this profession is in serious peril. Employers and the authorities must adopt measures immediately to save professional journalism. Only action taken at EU level can still save the press in Romania."@en1
