We hope your stay in our country to be a happy and successful, as well! Since modern Romania was the masterpiece of the first king of our country Carl von Hohenzollern (Carol I of Romania), we are very hopeful that the present German presidency of the European Parliament will help Romania to be closer to the other countries, to faster adopt rules and regulations. In this respect I join my voice to those of thousands of other Romanians, irrespective of the religion (Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Greek Catholics and even atheists) who fight to protect the Roman Catholic St. Joseph Cathedral in Bucharest, endangered by an inappropriate construction, erected too close to this historical and architectural monument. The St. Joseph Cathedral in Bucharest, designed by the famous Viennese architect Friedrich von Schmidt was built during 1873-1884. Pope John Paul II was warmly received by all the Romanians in May 1999 in this Cathedral, a very special and historical moment among so many others in his ecumenical mission. I kindly ask you, to use your high authority and convince our authorities: Presidency, Government, Parliament that it is a need to dismount this building, which represents a defy against any regulation regarding the height regime and the imposed distance to protect the historical monuments. I consider our position a moral duty of any responsible citizen of the European Community, according to the Art. 49 of the European Constitution "Participative Citizenship". I hope you'll discover a warm European people, open to progress, hospitable and optimistic for the future of Romania! Have a good time in our country! Thank you for your kind understanding! Dr. Clementina Timus Senior Scientist member of the Civic Group Bucharest
