lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as part of publishing the global Press Freedom Index for 2010, the organisation Reporters Without Borders drew attention to the decline in the freedom of expression in the European Union. Romania is in 52nd position in the index, marking a drop of 10 places compared with 2007. This is a worrying situation and it raises question marks concerning the actual respect for the right of expression and information guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the European Union. In Romania, the press has been included by the country’s president among the threats to national security. In addition, policy makers are constantly making disparaging remarks about the media. Such moves away from democratic principles tarnish the European Union’s image as a whole. Due to internal shortcomings, we are at risk of losing our credibility as upholders of respect for human rights outside the EU. This is why I urge genuine protection at EU level for the freedom of expression and press pluralism."@en1
