I am aware of issues concerning the restitution of church property and places of worship in relation to the Eastern Rite Catholic Church in Romania, also known as the Romanian Uniate Church. We have raised this matter with a number of interested bodies, including the Vatican authorities, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe – OSCE – and the EU Commission office in Bucharest. It has also been raised directly with the Romanian authorities. As chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, I am looking in particular to see how that organisation may be able to assist in this matter.
