President Basescu to MEPs:
The Head of the Romanian state reassured that Romania had not fallen in the trap of relaxation after entering the EU.published in issue 3862 page 1 at 2007-02-01"Even if we have become a EU member state, we understand from the experience with the internal preparation process that accession is not the synonym of the actual integration, and that the true challenge is only beginning, while the prospects that have been opened for us are an obligation on us to make the necessary efforts both for Romania and for the European project," the President of Romania, Traian Basescu, stated in his speech in the plenary sitting of the European Parliament, in Brussels, yesterday.
This was his first address to the European Parliament as the president of Romania as a member state.
Basescu indicated that Romanians had seen in the European Union a model of co-operation that had successfully allowed every European citizen to act to his/her full potential.
At risk medically, financially
When Raquel Martinez looks into her daughter's dark brown eyes, she sees a future brimming with possibilities: a doctor, an engineer, a teacher, an artist. But 5-year-old Zahlya Niebla might never reach her potential. Although she doesn't know it, she's in a fight for her life. Zahlya has a rare condition that has forced her to eat and breathe through tubes. She has an enlarged heart. Other complications include diaphragm hernias, scoliosis, hearing loss, visual impairment, sleep apnea and developmental delays. Above all, her mother and doctors said, Zahlya needs constant care. But Zahlya is at risk of losing critical financial assistance after a decision by the Oregon Department of Human Services' medically fragile children's unit. It's a decision -- currently on appeal -- that Martinez does not understand and that doctors do not support.
