The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) has proposed a legislative initiative to protect consumers from disconnection of essential services due to unpaid bills. The bill, introduced by AUR deputy Dan Tanasă, aims to prevent disconnections for small debts and establish uniform rules for consumer protection. It sets a minimum protection threshold based on the higher value of either 50 euros or the average bill over the past year. The initiative requires suppliers to follow a prior procedure before disconnection and allows for debt restructuring. Vulnerable consumers and those reliant on medical equipment will be protected from disconnection year-round. AUR seeks to create a legislative framework that ensures access to essential services despite temporary financial difficulties.
