Romania's negotiation chapter on Justice and internal affairs with view to the EU admission is the most difficult of all and we can't say whether it will be fulfilled by the end of the year or not. This was the statement made by Onno Simons, Second Chief of the EU delegation to Bucharest. While participating in a debate on the Justice reform in Romania, Simons said the Romanian Justice system had some difficulties, which had been reflected by the latest EU country report on Romania. Some of the problems Simons talked about are the financial ones, as well organizational and image matters. He mentioned the lack of trust in Justice. (C.E.) The Independent Journalism Center (CIJ) won the first trial session against the Government. CIJ sued the latter for having refused to provide information on advertising contracts, informed Ioana Avadani, Head of CJI. Charges refer to advertising contracts approved by the Government and signed by the Executive Chief. The decision was reached on Monday, when the Executive representative was absent. The Executive has got the right to canceling appeal. In August CJI had asked the Executive for the lists of advertising contracts approved by PM Adrian Nastase, according to the law on access to public information. At that time the Government Spokesman said that every public institution had signed advertising contracts with no consent or signature from the PM. The latter wanted to be sure on the legal spending of funds. This is what Despina Neagoe was saying, as reply to press reports on the issue. In this trial CJI is assisted by lawyer Diana Calinescu from the Human Rights Defense Association - the Helsinki Committee. (A.D.)
