emergency call

Romania is still on the European Commission’s list of states lacking caller location for mobile calls to the single emergency number 112, and Romanian authorities have not yet sent data on response times, the European Commission said Tuesday.

The minimum fine for fake calls to the single emergency number 112 will increase five times to RON500, while fines for telecom services providers who fail to observe their obligations will increase tenfold to RON100,000.

The Romanian government decided in Wednesday’s cabinet meeting to send a letter to the European Commission with an action plan to render the 112 emergency call service more efficient, assuring the EU the system would comply starting February 2008.
