European integration
On November 25, heads of EU missions, the European Commission Delegation and the Office of the EU Special Representative released a joint declaration on situation in the Republic of Moldova before the forthcoming 2009 parliamentary elections. The joint declaration:
- Invites Moldovan authorities to assure that the future parliamentary elections will be conducted in compliance with international standards on democratic elections;
- Highlights the importance of guaranteeing full respect for the political pluralism principle and raises concerns that a number of political parties have signalled difficulties to comply with new procedures imposed by the law on political parties;
- Raises concern with the increasing number of criminal investigations opened recently against opposition politicians;
- Stresses the importance of guaranteeing the access of all parties participating in elections to the media and ensuring an equable media coverage of the electoral process;
- Grants a special importance to the editorial independence of the public audiovisual and their pluralism during the electoral campaign, with renewing broadcasting licences being very relevant in this regard;
- Asks Moldovan authorities to modify the Electoral Code accordingly to recommendations by OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission of the Council of Europe and relevant ECHR jurisprudence.
