European Union observes the upcoming polls in Bolivia

Following an invitation from the Bolivian Foreign Ministry, the European Commission on 13 June 2006 deployed an EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) to the Constituent Assembly Elections and to the Referendum on Regional Autonomy elections in Bolivia, both scheduled to take place on 2 July 2006. Bolivian voters were being invited to designate their representatives to a Constituent Assembly, which was to be charged with drafting a new Constitution for the country; and to express their view on providing for regional autonomy within the new Constitution. The EU EOM was to be led by Monica Frassoni, Member of the European Parliament.
