According to the decree, by September 1, 2005 Ukraine ’s Cabinet of Ministers should submit draft legislation with proposals for review by the Ukrainian Parliament, including a proposal for the transfer of adoption authority from the Ukrainian Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports and the creation of a new central authority for adoptions and children’s issues. The current National Adoption Center is continuing to accept new dossiers from American and other families at this time. Pending submission and approval of specific proposals and draft legislation, it remains unclear what impact the transition process will have on pending adoptions.

Romania: The Journey To Truth by Yifat Bachrach On 13 June 2003, at the conclusion of talks on cooperation between the Romanian government archives and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Romanian government issued the following statement: “The discussions held on this topic have highlighted, in the final analysis, the position of the Romanian government: encouragement of research regarding the Holocaust in Europe while emphasizing the fact that, within the borders of Romania, there was no Holocaust between 1940-1945.” The statement was harsh, given that Romania was the only ally of Nazi Germany that chose not send its Jews to extermination camps in Poland; instead they were killed by Romanian armed forces and police in the areas under its control, including occupied Ukrainian territory given to them by Hitler. The statement was all the more shocking as it coincided with the publication of a comprehensive study by Dr. Jean Ancel on the history of the Holocaust in Romania (Yad Vashem, 2003) which proves that 420,000 Jews were murdered in greater Romania and the areas under its control during the Holocaust (240,000 were Romanian citizens and 180,000 were from the Soviet Union; the study was also published in Romanian). Yad Vashem was quick to voice its serious disapproval of this statement.

87. Romania: Refusing To Bear Arms 2005 Revision The Romanian government has announced that it plans to abolish conscription However, the Romanian government has never been willing to widen the grounds http://www.wri-irg.org/co/rtba/romania.htm

Romania As published in The Right to Conscientious Objection in Europe , Quaker Council for European Affairs, 2005. Conscription Conscientious objection Conscription Conscription is enshrined in Article 55 of the Constitution, as amended in 2003, and is further regulated by the 1996 Law on the Preparation of the Population for Defence (46/1996). The length of military service is 8 months, and 4 months for university and college graduates. All men aged between the ages of 20 and 35 are liable for military service. Reservist obligations apply up to the age of 50. The Romanian government has announced that it plans to abolish conscription in 2007. The transformation into fully professionalized forces in order to comply with NATO standards has been planned for some time. Since the 1990s, the size of the Romanian armed forces and the number of conscripts has been reduced significantly. In 2003 the Ministry of Defence announced that a bill had been drafted to gradually phase out conscription by 2007. It is not known if and when this bill has been discussed by the Romanian Parliament. In 2003 the Constitution was in fact amended in order to allow for the abolition of conscription. Statistics The armed forces comprise 97,000 troops, including 29,600 conscripts. Every year, approx. 170,000 young men reach conscription age; approx. 35 per cent are recruited.

Romania Case Study Women and Information Technology in Romania Romanian women's high level of education and traditionally high representation in the country's labor force set a positive tone for women assuming leadership roles in the Information Technology (IT) sector in Romania. However, Romanian women's economic and social rights have deteriorated since the demise of communism in 1989. As the governments and economies in the former Soviet bloc crumbled, women were usually the first to lose their jobs and felt most significantly the cuts in health services and child care which had enabled them to participate so fully in the labor force up to that point. Women's future role in IT may be contingent upon significant improvements in Romania's economy and a renewal of social policies supportive of women's economic and familial roles.

Home About NIRS About WISE International Offices ... Search ALERT! October 1, 1998 For more info, contact: Michael Mariotte , NIRS 202-328-0002 Appeals from Finland and RomaniaSign-on Petitions Here are appeals for help from Finland and Romania. Please contact the groups directly to support them (contact info below), not NIRS. Thank you, Michael Mariotte NIRS LETTER TO orGANISATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS Dear friends all over the world! Enclosed you will find an appeal against the building of a fifth nuclear power plant in Finland. The plans, dating back to the time right before the Chernobyl accident, have been reactivated lately. It is almost certain that the new government, which will be appointed after the parliament elections in Marc 1999, will have nuclear power on the agenda. We therefore ask you kindly to sign the appeal directed to the Finnish government ant parliament. We will try to get the appeal published in the biggest newspapers already before the election an then later hand it over to the new government and parliament. It would be a disastrous new opening for the world wide nuclear industry if Finland would open up the nuclear markets of the Western world again. Finland would then certainly be used as an example of a high technology country trusting in the nuclear technology when the nuclear industry negotiates about new plants in Eastern Europe and in the developing countries.

T HE E CONOMIC S ITUATION IN R OMANIA (April 1999, http://www.europeanforum.bot-consult.se/cup/romania) Economic structure Imports are dominated by trade with Germany, Italy, the Russian Federation, France, the United States, and Egypt, with a total value of USD 10.4 billion in 1996. The import commodities are fuels and minerals 24 percent, machinery and transport equipment 25 percent, food and agricultural goods 7.6 percent, chemicals 12.5 percent, other goods 30.9 percent. Romanian exports are mainly to Germany, Italy, France, Turkey, the Netherlands and China, with a total value of USD 8.4 billion in 1996. Because of the decline in real wages, Romania can compete with non-European low wage countries in textile production and labour intensive work. Main exports are textiles and footwear 27.5 percent, metals and metal products 16.2 percent, mineral products 9.0 percent, chemicals 11.2 percent, other goods 36.1 percent. Economic development In spite of an ambitious programme, introduced in 1994 and based on the Czech voucher-system, privatisation proceeded slowly after the initial transfer of small enterprises, retail units and small farms, mostly to their operators. But in August 1995, it was decided to go ahead with the privatisation of 3,000 large firms. In total, around 80 percent of agricultural corporations were privatised by the end of 1998. A further privatisation is set for the year 1999, adding USD 740 million to state revenues. In 1998, 1,650 companies were privatised and forecasts for 1999 are higher. The government also plans to sell big companies like oil refinery Petromidia, planemaker Romaero and commercial bank Banca Romana pentru Dezvoltare (BRD). With this round of privatisation, the Romanian government hopes to secure credits from the IMF, which has urged the government to speed up privatisation and restructuring.
