Rather than accept an honorary position, the former head of the anti-corruption office quit and is now denouncing politicians' meddling in the appointment of Romania’s judges – a practice that is slowing the country's entry into the Schengen area. 
European Union treaties guarantee the rights of citizens but in practice consumer rights seem to take precedence over more fundamental EU rights. 
The anticipated wave of Bulgarian and Romanian immigration in 2014 will not be as high as previously thought, according to a new government report. But that is no reason to ignore the consequences for urbanism and social services, writes the conservative Daily Telegraph. 
The European Citizens’ Initiative process, launched in 2011, aims to reflect grassroots political aspirations. If they collect one million signatures, committees of European citizens can instigate changes to EU policies. But Dilema Veche wonders if they will make the right choices. 
Germany has announced that it will veto the entry of Romania and Bulgaria into the Schengen Area. Perhaps it is time for Romanians to stop being the victims of their partners' political games, writes a Romanian journalist in a leader article. 
Romania, wrongly named as the source of the horsemeat food fraud, has suffered more than most in the ready-meals scandal. Having been dealt a severe blow, the country’s agriculture industry now has to pick up the pieces and regain Europe's trust. 
After Cannes, it was the turn of the Berlin Film Festival to honour a film from the Romanian New Wave, from a generation of filmmakers who have been ignored, and from a country without cinemas. Like “Beyond the Hills” by Cristian Mungiu, “Child's Pose” by Călin Peter Netzer expresses the “suffering and despair of Romanian life,” says a sociologist. 
The switching of horsemeat for beef is a spectacular signal that a limit has been reached, says columnist John Gapper. 
Romanian leaders never miss an opportunity to annoy the Székelys, Romania’s Hungarian minority. The “war over flags” which has recently been waged by the central government and a number of Transylvanian regional municipalities is only the latest episode in Bucharest’s campaign to create tensions with the Hungarians. 
The horsemeat scandal has taken on European proportions. While European countries seek to blame each other, they are ignoring the underlying problem, which is that the economic crisis has meant that low income families are increasingly dependent on cheap meat. 
Structural funds for 2014-2020 are at the top of the agenda of the European Council meeting on February 7-8. Management of these development projects is left to member states but Romanian journalist Ovidiu Nahoi suggests it may be time to hand over responsibility to the EU Commission. 
Romanian criminal cases ranging from robbery to rape may now be settled by a mediator rather than in court. A new law that went into effect on February 1 aims to reduce the backlog in the courts and to promote social peace. But there is a risk is that it will fail because it is too ambiguous and difficult to interpret. 
The comments of UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage regarding the "influx" of foreign workers who would arrive in the Britain following the opening up of the UK labour market to Bulgarians and Romanians in 2014 has provoked angry reactions from Sofia. One young Edinburgh-educated Bulgarian woman wrote an open letter to the Eurosceptic MEP. 
Ahead of the end of immigration controls on Romania and Bulgaria in January 2014, some UK ministers are thinking of running a campaign to deter a repeat of the 2004 “wave” of immigration when eight former communist countries gained EU working rights. But the eurozone crisis makes this prospect less likely. 
We have freedom of movement, freedom of information and freedom of speech, but we are prisoners of a disdain for our language and culture, which is feeding illiteracy, complains a Romanian historian and writer. 
Hit hard by the crisis, Roberta, a Spanish grandmother, and Jeremy, a French baker, responded to the lure of easy money. Their mission? Smuggle cocaine from Peru into their home countries. Today, they’re rotting in a Lima jail. 
Against a backdrop of global crisis, the battle for resources is set to escalate in 2013. At a time when the EU is turning to Russia for its energy needs, one of its member states could supply the others with agricultural produce. But for this to happen, Romanians will have to take full advantage of their country’s assets. - 1 of 10
