questions // Dear Mr Bryant, 1. What do you think about the nomination of Mr Dacian Ciolos as Commissioner for Agriculture in relation with Mr Sarkozy's recent comments? 2. What are the problem areas in British-Romanian relations? 3. The UK government was a strong supporter of EU's enlargement process but afterwards it decided to close its labor market for Romanian citizens. How would you comment this seemingly contradictory policy?

invatamint // sistemul de invatamint din Marea Britanie este performant ,recunoscut pentru eficienta si aplicativitatea,inovativitatea lui exact ce ii lipseste celui romanesc ,mai ales celui superior;exista preocupare din partea Marii Britanii pentru programe guvernamentale(burse,stagii de pregatire..etc) pentru a valorifica potentialul uman deosebit al Romaniei (cantitativ si calitativ) pentru formare de specialisti in domenii de mare interes pentru UE:IT,energie comunicatii,transport...etc? :

Security and Defence // Dear Mr. Bryant, 1. What can you tell us about your government's persepctive on the recent defence contract scandal involing a high British offical and a Romanian company? 2. What is your perceived relevance of the presence of Romanian troops in Afghanistan and Iraq? What about their effectivity? 3. What is the UK policy on the Black Sea region and what role do you see for Romania in the wider energy security context, given the Nabucco project? What is the level of UK interest in this affair?

Higher Education Funding for European Citizens // Dear Mr. Bryant, I am a student at Oxford University, a Romanian citizen and the child of an EEA Migrant Worker, which means that I am entitled to the same benefits(maintenance loan+maintenance grant, on top of the tuition fee loan), under EU regulations and case law, as British citizens. However, so far, Student Finance England has denied me funding. This is clearly in contradiction with EU law and is very hard to address through the system (even though there is an appeals system, it has not yielded a response after over a month). What assurance can EU citizens have that their Treaty Rights will not be breached in member countries, especially the UK, and what enforcement and appeals mechanisms are there to protect those rights?

Labor market // Why the UK government maintained th restriction on the labor market for Romanian citizens? UK does not have a big Romanian comunity like Polish. Instead you do not have such restriction for polish people. The biggest Romanian abroad community are in Spain ( aprox: 1,5 mil) and in Italy ( aprox 2 mil). I have to metion that Spain has no restriction on the labor market for Romanian.

Elections // What is the Mr. Basescu's image/perception in the UK political and business environment? How about Mr.Geoana? Are there any concern regarding Basescu's reelection? Thank you

freedoms in the EU // Dear Sir , We so often hear at Government level about the " excellent " relations between the UK and Romania and yet we the simple people don't necessarily feel it . I remember the moment Romania joined the EU , visa restriction for the UK where lifted minutes after we have joined while we were free to travel in the rest of the EU already from 2001 , the same thing happens now with labour rights . We do feel discriminated , being part of a union based on freedom ( to work , to travel , to reside ) and yet be refused the fundamental rights ? How would you comment that ? Don't you think that this unjustified measures regarding the labour right will encourage illegal work ? Despite the "excellent " relations .. do we simple people of Romania matter in the equation ? because when comes to the UK we don't really feel that we matter , as a representative of Her Majesties' Government I urge you to let those responsible know that we can't have a EU with second hand citizens , we can't have a EU with different rights and freedoms in only one direction . We are almost in the year 2010 , with Lisbon Treaty implemented , the work of any EU citizen in a certain country should be seen as a benefit for the entire EU and not just on national level , that is why I believe that restrictions for Romania and Bulgaria are discriminatory ! Long live the Queen ! Cristian

UK visas for Romanian familly members ? // What is your perspective of a united Europe regarding travel freedom? My wife - having Moldovan citizenship, but Romanian residence - had entrance in UK refused in Luton airport (while traveling with me, an EU citizen), because she didn't have a UK visa endorsed on her passport. We previously traveled to Greece, Italy, Austria and Germany without any visa.

EU or EEA? // Dear Mr Bryant, UK is perceived as a EU member state interested mainly in the economic aspects of the Union while the political issues are systematically ignored or contested and denied by meaning of opt-out clauses or other intruments (Schengen agreements, monetary union, judicial system and police affairs..) What is the role and the future of UK in this Union if you will continue to be an "opt-out state" in almost all big EU projects? Don't you think that a EEA membership would be more suitable for your country? Thank you for your answers.
