“The attempts to destroy the CCIB started end 2007, when Romania’s government tried to repeal the dispositions of article 2 from government ordinance no. 709/2005 on recognizing the setting up of the Bucharest Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Government decision no. 1187/2007 aimed at repealing the stipulations regarding the headquarters, management organisms, patrimony and statute of the CCIB,” reads a press release.
However, in March 2008, the court of law suspended government decision no. 1187/2007. CCIB’s press release reads that certain “interest groups” are currently trying to set up an illegal chamber of commerce, bearing the same name, that of Bucharest Chamber of Commerce and Industry and with the headquarters in Bucharest, in Boulevard O. Goga, No. 2. the same location as that of the real CCIB.
