He said the “actors on the Romanian political scene have to honor their commitments regarding the EU accession,” as an activation of the safeguard clause in the justice field would have “unpleasant” consequences.

“The other member countries will no longer recognize the court decisions in Romania. This will trigger many unpleasant situations for both Romanian nationals and for the economic operators in Romania and the Romanian institutions,” Idu said.

He mentioned the European Commission will decide upon activating the safeguard clause in June.

As to the current scandal regarding the appointment of a new justice minister in Romania, Idu said it is a domestic problem and that the Commission has no comments on the issue.
