lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would also like to thank the rapporteur, Marjo Matikainen-Kallström, for preparing a sound report. She has got to grips with the issue in a comprehensive way and raised some important issues connected with it. Our Group supports the rapporteur’s views. As has been said here several times, the situation in Moldova is extremely difficult. Although a little headway has been made in the areas of administrative development, social pluralism, and human rights, the economic and social situation is still extremely grave. The country’s economy has shrunk by around two thirds in the last ten years alone. Discrepancies in income have grown wildly and half the population lives below the poverty line. Development in Moldova depends essentially on whether the country can achieve political, social and economic stability. It will be extremely hard for Moldova to overcome its huge problems without foreign assistance. The Union’s support for Moldova is thus in place. The EUR 15 million loan now to be made must be coordinated with assistance from the IMF and other international agencies with the aim of boosting Moldova’s social and economic stability. It is also important that the Commission guarantees the aid by attaching certain economic conditions to it, so that it is used properly in the right areas, for example, in improving administration, organising basic civil services and increasing economic efficiency. Later, we have to ensure that the conditions have been fulfilled properly and that the country is progressing along the path of democracy and that people’s living conditions are improving. The report’s proposal for the possibility of revising the financial perspective to increase the amount of funds in the guarantee reserve is also in order."@en1
