lpv:translated text	"There is only a small step left to be made towards adopting the Treaty of Lisbon which, once it has come into force, will bring the European Union and its 500 million citizens much closer together. Romania, the country which I represent here in the European Parliament, was one of the first states that ratified the treaty because all its policy-makers believe in European integration. The European Parliament elections will not be organised in accordance with the Treaty of Lisbon, but even this fact highlights how democratic and representative the institution of the European Community is and how important each of its Member States is. European institutions, including Parliament, are far too abstract for the Community’s citizens at the current moment. Parliament’s importance in the EU’s decision­making process has grown with each European treaty. The Treaty of Lisbon is no exception, creating a parliament with a tangibly greater involvement in the legislative process. The treaty will bring the EU closer to its citizens. We all know how difficult it is to bring the Community’s problems to the attention of the citizens in the countries which we come from. The fact that the MEPs which each Member State elects directly will receive greater powers is, at the moment, the ideal solution for bringing a unique institution in the world closer to its people."@en1
