Comisia Europeană cere explicații privind „amendamentul Fritz”. Avertisment legat de ultimele plăți din PNRR

The European Commission has requested clarifications from Romanian authorities regarding a new law affecting Timișoara's mayor, Dominic Fritz. This inquiry is linked to the recent amendment that could lead to the automatic termination of mandates for individuals previously declared in conflict of interest. The Commission's letter outlines concerns about the law's compatibility with European legal principles, including legal certainty and the right to appeal. Romania has two weeks to respond, and the outcome may impact the evaluation of pending PNRR payment requests. The law, which was recently promulgated, is crucial for accessing significant EU funds.
