Romanian Liberal government lost control over the telecom market

The National Authority regulating Communication and Information Technologies will pass under the authority of the Parliament. The Romanian House of Deputies passed Tuesday a draft law ruling that the regulating authority of the telecom sector will be lead by a board of councils formed by seven members under Parliamentary control.

The project was approved with 207 votes for, 10 against and 1 abstain. Institution’s officials say that the main reason is the elimination of any suspicions regarding political subjectivity.
