lpv:translated text	"I think that improving relations with our eastern neighbours is of paramount importance, and we must strengthen democracy in these countries. The Prague Declaration, followed by the launch of the Eastern partnership, includes an initiative containing the following phrase: ‘we will take steps towards visa liberalisation’. We cannot talk about the countries in the Eastern partnership drawing closer without taking this important step seriously. A positive development has been noted in Chişinău where, during the extended meeting of the working group dealing with coordinating the visa liberalisation process with the EU, the latest progress in the implementation of the Action Plan on visa liberalisation was presented, along with the first Progress Report published recently by the European Commission. The EU should remove the phrase ‘long-term objective’ from all the relevant documents concerning visa liberalisation, including the draft association agreements with Moldova and with other Eastern partnership countries. By promoting citizens’ mobility and contacts with the EU, we are also supporting the development of the countries neighbouring Europe, such as the Republic of Moldova. Visa liberalisation promotes good understanding, links with civil society and intercultural exchanges. This would be the first sign that the Eastern partnership is sincere and serious in its intentions."@en1
