EC Report Notes Positive Effects Of Romania’s Amended Constitutional Court Law

"Romania has removed an important cause of delay in high level corruption trials through the adoption of amendments to the Law on the Constitutional Court," the report notes. "These amendments, which follow recommendations by the Commission, eliminate the suspension of trials when exceptions of unconstitutionality are raised. The first positive effects on specific cases have already been observed," it added.

The Commission also said in the report that provisions in the Small Reform Law are also intended to assist, in particular through simplifying judicial procedures, eliminating the suspension of criminal trials when illegality exceptions are raised, and reducing the workload of the High Court.
