Locs D(2005) JV9 C¿-ζ*- , Dear JaiIues/^ Thank you for the information you sent me on the situation of child care in Romania. As you can imagine I am well aware of the extreme complexity and sensitivity of this issue. For this reason the Commission has been very active in helping Romania to implement a child protection system in line with the standards of EU Member States. The PHARE programme has been used to help the Romanian authorities to implement modem structures in Romania. The new law which entered into force on 1st January 2005 is in line with the principles of our acquis and especially the UN Convention on Children's Rights (Article 21 of this Convention admits international adoption only if all other solutions have been exhausted). This is the spirit and the letter of the new law, which concentrates above all on the child's interests. These provisions have been assessed by an Independent Panel of Experts on Family Law of EU Member States under the chairmanship of a Belgian magistrate. They have concluded that the law and practice in Romania is now in line with the standards in place in our Member States. I folly understand that this sensitive issue raises different questions and symphatise with many of the different views expressed in this context. However, I feel that it is vital that the Commission continues to support Romania in implementing best practices of our Member States.

    WP/02/96 IMF Working Paper The Estonian Currency Board: Its Introduction and Role in the Early Success of Estonia's Transition to a Market Economy Adalbert Knobl, Andres Sutt, and Basil Zavoico INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND © 2002 International Monetary Fund WPf02f96 IMF Working Paper European II Department The Estonian Cnrrency Board: Its Introdnction and Role in the Early Success of Estonia's Transition to a Market Economy Prepared by Adalbert Knobl, Andres Sutt, and Basil Zavoico' Authorized for distribution by John Odling-Srnee May 2002 Abstract The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMP or IMP policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. This paper reviews the history of the introduction of the Estonian kroon under a currency board arrangement. On June 20, 1992, Estonia became the first country from the former Soviet Union to abandon the Russian ruble and introduce its own currency, The paper looks at the factors behind this decision and discusses the implementation of the currency reform. It then assesses the economic impact of the reform and also compares Estonia's experience with that of its Baltic neighbors, It concludes that although the currency board arrangement made an important contribution to the early success of Estonia's economic stabilization and reform program, the underlying financial and structural policies were crucial for that success, JEL Classification Numbers: E63, E65. Keywords: currency reform, exchange arrangements, currency board, transition to market economy.

We have just had a very productive exchange of views with Vice-Premier Ma Kai and several Ministers on a wide range of economic and trade related issues. This has been done in the context of the Fourth High-Level Economic Dialogue between the European Union and China. The EU and China together represent around a third of global GDP. That means that our bilateral relations, as well as the impact we have on global economic relations, carry a lot of weight. Since the aim of developing a "strategic partnership" with China was announced in 2003 – a decade ago - there are now stronger trade links, and we have established working policy dialogues across a wide range of fields. On macro-economic policy coordination, we hold regular discussions on our respective economic policies at different levels, including with the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. In recent years, the crisis has posed very serious challenges to our economies, different in nature and size but all of them underlying the importance of global economic governance to tackle problems that have effects that cross borders; that affect the world economy.
