\"\"Chisinau, Sept. 28 (moldova.org) — Marianne Mikko, Chair of the European Parliament delegation to Moldova, issued a statement on behalf of her delegation regarding the need for EU to be more active in searching for the solutions in Transnistria, the Eastern breakaway region of Moldova. <\/p>\n

"I applaud the decision of the EU to establish its border assistance mission along the frontier between the secessionist Moldovan region of Transnistria and Ukraine.  This step represents encouraging progress in developing greater involvement by the EU in the search for a lasting settlement of the Transnistria problem", stated the EU’s Member of Parliament from Estonia. <\/p>\n

Mrs. Miko also mentioned that the separatist regime has "presided for too long over an area of instability and has been a haven for smugglers and arms dealers".  <\/p>\n

The EU plans to send some 50 EU border monitors to the region. Officials in Brussels are concerned with developments in Moldova, a soon neighbor of the EU after Romania’s expected accession in 2007. This mission is possible thanks to political changes in Ukraine last fall. Ukraine tolerated smuggling through its territory since 1991, but now, the new Ukrainian government set its foreign policy priority to integrate the country into the EU and NATO, as well as to join the World Trade Organization. <\/p>\n

Current five-party format – OSCE, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Transnistria – held a meeting in Odessa on September 26-27 and invited the EU and US to participate in the future talks on the Transnistrian conflict settlement as observers.
