lpv:translated text	"A free, pluralist and independent press is a key element of a democratic society. In 2010, the Romanian media are subject to the constraints imposed by an unfavourable economic climate, in a country where hostile attitudes towards journalists and inaccuracies which have been deliberately fuelled have been elevated to government policies. As a result of the current economic crisis, more than 4 000 media workers have been made redundant, dozens of publications have been closed down and advertising revenues have slumped. All these factors have made the media susceptible to political and economic pressure. Bias and lack of impartiality have lowered the public’s confidence in the press. Given that all the media regulations in Europe which stipulate respect for the right to freedom of expression and information are not being applied appropriately, I call on Member States and the Commission to monitor this aspect closely."@en1
