To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations the Government have made to the Government of Romania.

We made a number of representations before the recent elections urging the Romanian Government to ensure a free and fair campaign and poll. On 11 May we summoned the Romanian chargé d'affaires to register our concern on this point.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on relations with Romania, following the elections which took place there on 20 May.

We hope for warm and co-operative relations with Romania. This will depend in part on continued progress by the Romanian Government towards democracy.
