wealth statement

Romania’s Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday tacitly adopted a bill that exempts union leaders from having to submit statements of wealth and interest as required by the law governing the National Integrity Agency, a EU-required body that screens the wealth of public officials.

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc demanded Government members in Tuesday’s meeting to submit their wealth statements by January 5, 2009, in order to meet the deadline imposed by law after the taking of office.
