EXCLUSIV Comisia Europeană a cerut României clarificări despre ”amendamentul Fritz” introdus de PSD și AUR în Legea integrității, jalon PNRR de 770 milioane euro / UE vrea să știe cum poate fi retroactivă o lege

The European Commission has requested clarifications from Romanian authorities regarding the new Integrity Law, particularly the controversial "Fritz amendment". This amendment, which has retroactive effects, is part of a law linked to a €770 million PNRR milestone. The Commission is concerned about its implications for local officials and the legality of automatic mandate terminations. The Romanian president did not send the law back to Parliament for review, citing time constraints. The Commission's inquiries focus on the law's compliance with EU legal principles, including legal certainty and proportionality, and whether affected officials have adequate legal recourse. The outcome may impact future funding requests from Romania under the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
