Republica Moldova inca nu este pregatita sa intre in grupul statelor candidate la Uniunea Europeana, desi ideea alinierii ei la tarile din Balcanii de Vest este corecta, considera expertul Nicu Popescu de la Consiliul European pentru Relatii Externe (ECFR) de la Londra.
"Principalul obstacol in alinierea Republicii Moldova la tarile din Balcanii de Vest nu se afla la Bruxelles, ci in interiorul Republicii Moldova", a declarat Nicu Popescu la postul de radio Europa Libera, intr-un comentariu pe marginea declaratiilor presedintelui roman Traian Basescu facute la intalnirea de joi, de la Bucuresti, cu premierul moldovean Zinaida Greceanii.
Presedintele Romaniei a spus ca ar fi bine ca Republica Moldova sa fie tratata de UE la fel ca tarile din Balcanii de Vest, care stiu deja ca intr-o buna zi vor fi admise in UE. Cu Ucraina la pachet, drumul Republicii Moldova spre UE ar fi mult mai lung, a spus Basescu.
In opinia expertului de la Londra Nicu Popescu, Republica Moldova ramane mult in urma tarilor din Balcanii de Vest si chiar a Ucrainei, din cauza reformelor care au destul de multe lipsuri si a implementarii proaste a planului de actiuni cu UE.
"Principalele deficiente ale Republicii Moldova se refera la democratizare, libertatea mass-media, drepturile omului, lupta cu coruptia, cooperarea in domeniul energetic cu UE, crearea unei zone de liber schimb si dialogul in privinta vizelor. Pe toate aceste dosare Republica Moldova ramane nu doar in urma Balcanilor, ci si ...

Mircea Geoana went to Brussels for a meeting with Socialist ministers of foreign affairs in the EU. He has provided us with some details on what the Socialist group in the Parliament of Europe thinks about the accession of Romania and Bulgaria and also on estimations about the European Commission's report.
What is indeed interesting is the assumption that the report is highly likely to mention January 1, 2007 as date for accession, but add some conditions on the four fields under red flags in

EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn is to answer questions from the Foreign Affairs Committee today. Euro-deputies are to ask him some questions too. This is not at all common procedure, for this debate was to take place once, in May 16, after the release of the European Commission's report.
There is fear that such supplementary procedure should be an attempt of groups against the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to have the final voting take place in autumn. Formally speaking, it means

EU Commissioner for Enlargement Olli Rehn thinks early elections in Romania after the release of the European Commission's report in May wouldn't be a wise decision. Yesterday after his meeting with Romanian PM Calin Popescu Tariceanu at Victoria Palace the EU official mentioned he wouldn't want to interfere in Romania's foreign affairs, but it was very important that our country should maintain political stability.
He expressed appreciation for the progress Romania made in the last year, but

Epicentrul crizei financiare isi are originile in marile centre comerciale precum New York, Londra, Paris, Tokyo sau Hong Kong, sunt de parere cercetatorii compania americana de consultanta in management A.T. Kearney.
Potrivit studiului "Global Cities Index", realizat de acestia impreuna cu cu Foreign Policy si The Chicago Council of Global Affairs, in cele cinci orasee puternic globalizate s-a inregistrat cea mai puternica activitate de business, cel mai inalt grad de globalizare a resurselor umane, dar si schimburile informationale si culturale cele mai intense.
"In prezent, succesele si esecurile globalizarii sunt percepute cel mai acut la nivelul marilor metropole, acolo unde traieste si munceste cea mai mare parte a umanitatii", se arata in studiul A.T. Kearney.
Orasele care figureaza in topul globalizarii sunt si cele mai afectate din punct de vedere al falimentelor si al somajului din industria financiara, sustine Bogdan Belciu, manager al subsidiarei din Romania a firmei de consultanta,
"In marile centre urbane se afla epicentrul crizei actuale. In faza a doua a crizei, pe masura ce aceasta se extinde catre industrii, criza va atinge si marile centre industriale", spune Belciu, citat de Business Standard.
Potrivit studiului. orasele cu activitatea de business cea mai intensa sunt New York, Tokyo, Paris si Londra, cele mai active "hub"-uri comerciale din tari medii si mici sunt Amsterdam, Dubai si Copenhaga, iar orasele cele mai atractive din punctul ...
