Comisia Europeană cere explicații României privind noua Lege a integrității. Bruxelles-ul verifică „amendamentul Fritz” și impactul asupra aleșilor locali

The European Commission has requested clarifications from Romania regarding the new Integrity Law, particularly the 'Fritz amendment'. This inquiry focuses on the law's compatibility with EU principles and its impact on local elected officials. Romania has two weeks to respond to questions about the law's retroactivity and legal implications. The Commission is concerned about the automatic termination of mandates and whether individual circumstances are considered. The law is part of Romania's commitments under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, and the responses may affect future funding evaluations.
