- Before the vote

  Hannes Swoboda (PSE). – (DE) Mr President, for technical reasons, we Social Democrats were unable to sign the joint resolution within the time allowed but signed it later. The entire Group is behind it. I also say that especially for our Romanian colleagues, with Mr Severin at the helm.

- Before the vote on paragraph 10

  Marian-Jean Marinescu (PPE-DE). – Mr President, I want to propose the following oral amendment to paragraph 10: I wish to add the name of Mr Sergiu Mocanu. The text would read: ‘... politically-motivated arrests, such as those of Anatol Matasaru, Sergiu Mocanu and Gabriel Stati;’.

(The oral amendment was not accepted)
