IJC PROTESTS STATE CENSORSHIP; ARTICLE 19 PROPOSES LAW AMENDMENTS
As the government of Moldova considers tabling amendments to the country's press law, 23 civil society organisations, including the Independent Journalism Center (IJC-Moldova), have signed a declaration protesting the government's "censorship of state-owned broadcaster TV Moldova and other actions which aim to "destroy the democratic mechanisms in society." Entitled "The Civil Society Says No," the declaration says the Communist government has imposed censorship on TV Moldova, transforming it into an "instrument of Communist propaganda." The organisations say this "represents a flagrant violation of the citizens' right to free expression."

JOURNALISTS DEMAND EQUAL TREATMENT
The Association of Independent Press (API), a network of 17 independent newspapers and news agencies in Moldova, has called on the government to allow all news media free access to information that is of public interest, reports the Independent Journalism Center of Moldova (IJC). At its annual conference earlier this month, API issued a declaration pledging to support the development of independent news media and defend the rights of journalists. API urged the government to create equal opportunities for both private and state-owned publications, noting that its members have been repeatedly denied access to various government events ever since the ruling Party of Moldovan Communists was elected into power in February.

CONSTITUTIONAL COURT LEAVES FINES FOR THE PRESS UNCHANGED
In a decision reached in early June, Moldova's Constitutional Court left unchanged the Civil Code's Articles 7 and 7(1) under which journalists and media organisations can be fined "for the spread of information harming one's honour and dignity", according to Moldova's Independent Journalism Center (IJC). The fines range from 10 to 100 minimal salaries for individual journalists, and 75 to 200 minimal salaries for media institutions. (A minimal salary in Moldova amounts to 18 lei, or 1.4 dollars). If the court rules against the defendant, an official denial on behalf of the defendant must also be published within 15 days of the ruling.

ARTICLE 19 RECOMMENDS CHANGES TO DRAFT LAW
The revised draft law on Access to Information which the Moldovan parliament is presently considering still contains three serious problems, says ARTICLE 19. While the current draft is a significant improvement of its previous version, ARTICLE 19 urges the parliament to consider three key issues. First, the vagueness of the exemption provisions would enable "too much scope for illegitimate withholding of official information," says ARTICLE 19. These provisions should be narrowly and explicitly drawn and should be subject to a public interest override.

DRAFT FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW IMPROVED
Proposals for legislation on freedom of information in Moldova which gave rise to freedom of expression concerns have been revised by the parliament, reports ARTICLE 19. The changes reflect recommendations to bring the law into line with international standards which ARTICLE 19 provided to parliamentarians. The government had produced a draft law entitled "The Law on Freedom of Information", the second half of which ARTICLE 19 says "was more to do with media regulation than access to official information."
