EU Funds To Romania May Be Cut After EC Summer Report – Social Democrat Leader

Geoana added that the main cause is “the lack of reform in the Romanian justice system.”

“It is our party’s decision to send the two codes, the Criminal and Civil Codes, completed in the special Parliament commissions, to the President and to remind him that he called a meeting with all relevant factors in an effort to find the way to receive a positive report from the European Commission,” Geoana said.

Geoana said he calls on the head of state “as the main coordinator of institutions related to Justice in Romania of the last five years, to take every step necessary, through direct contact with the Justice Minister, general Prosecutor, head of the Anticorruption Department, the heads of the Higher Court of Magistrates and the High Court of Justice and to take every required measure to prevent this massive risk to the interests and reputation of Romania in Europe.”
