Premier Greceanai: We don't make reforms for reforms' sake

100 days after instituting the new Cabinet, Prime-Minister Zinaida Greceanai says her main attainment is the internal restructuring of the Government. “The internal reorganization has been necessary in enhance the quality of the services provided by the Government's agencies, but also to optimize the public service,” Zinaida Greceanai said on Wednesday at a news conference as she presented her activity report, Info-Prim Neo reports. “Only by cutting the red-tape in structures, we'll manage to keep an efficient dialog with all the Moldovan citizens”, she said. Zinaida Greceanai assured the journalists the positive effects of the restructuring will materialize in the future, after a process of consolidating all the new structures. “I assert with all my responsibility we don't make reforms for the sake of reforms or because they are impelled on us by somebody else. We make the reforms because they are necessary for us first of all,” Zinaida Greceanai said. According to the premier, the integration in the European Union represents a priority for the Cabinet. “The EU integration is not just a slogan we use, but an approach through which we intend to institute a set of reforms in all areas,” the official said. Zinaida Greceanai considers going on the European path is “the holy duty of everybody, regardless of their political view and option.” The Government plans to continue the talks to secure a new cooperation accord with the EU. “For Moldova to get in line with the European standards, it is necessary to stress compartments related to the independence of the judiciary, the human rights, the independence of mass-media and to bettering the investment climate,” she said. Zinaida Greceanai says Moldova's effort are backed by the European Commission and other international entities. Speaking about the external relations, the Chisinau Government wants to enhance its bilateral relationships with all the neighbors. The economic relations with Russia “would contribute to growing the export of Moldovan goods on the Russian market, especially the alcoholic beverages,” Zinaida Greceanai opines. As for setting the price of the natural gas imported from Russia, the premier says Moldova is still waiting for Russia to set the final price. “By 2011, Russia wants to set an average European price for Moldova, and it may go up or down depending on the international conjuncture,” she said. Referring to the visit of the Romanian Foreign Minister, Lazar Comanescu, to Chisinau, Zinaida Greceanai says it would be a first step towards consolidating a constructive dialog with the neighboring country, implicitly with the EU. “Out of sight, out of mind. That is why we should step up our relations with the neighbors. However, we should be realists and realize all the problems cannot be solved on the first visit,” Zinaida Greceanai concluded.
