Romanian govt to discuss key projects for which it plans to take responsibility

Romania’s Liberal government is to discuss in a session on Tuesday a series of key projects for which it plans to take responsibility before the parliament – measures it describes as necessary to mend the harm done by the previous Social Democratic (PSD) majority.

Key issues for which it plans to take responsibility include:

• changes to the laws of justice, which were the target of intense pressure under the previous government
• changes to a law establishing budget constraints on certain activities
• in a second phase, changes to the hard-hitting emergency ordinance 114 issued late last year, which affected a wide group of industries from banking to telecom.
