Over the past 3 years I have supported extending MFN status to Romania. but I believe that the time has come. in assessing the lack of improvement of conditions in Romania. to say that this year we are not going to make or extend that status for a 12month period. in order to give the Romanian Government an opportunity to live up to the promises they have made over the years. which I feel they have not met. and the agreements which they signed. the international agreements which they were committed to and have not fulfilled. EQ 2040 Many of the points the gentleman in the well has referred to are worth noting. In the last year alone. rather than easing the emigration policy. they have made the policy more complicated. Rather than expediting measures so that people would have an easier egress from that country. they have added yet another barrier in that process. Certainly the plight of 2.5 million Hungarians in that country. a minority population. rather than their condition being improved. it has worsened.
