Finance minister Eugen Teodorovici said on Monday that the Dancila government would soon bring forward a proposal to change parts of the controversial Emergency Ordinance 114, but noted that this won’t be done out of constraint or due to the pressure coming from companies, but “in the interest of the Romanian business environment and the Romanian citizen.”
“As a result of the dialogue we’ve had lately, not out of constraint, not due to the company’s pressures, but in the interest of the business environment in Romania and citizens, we’ll introduce a proposal to change OUG 114 in the upcoming period,” said the minister. “Those who don’t believe in this legislation should carry out an impact assessment analysis and compare the economic situation before this ordinance and the one we’ll have after this new form is approved. I suggest that all MPs enter into a political pact of non-aggression on issues of strategic importance that are related to the economy or the security and well-being of our citizens,” he added.
