Primele precizări ale Comisiei Europene despre verificările pe „amendamentul Fritz”, validat de CCR. În joc sunt 770 de milioane de euro

The European Commission is reviewing Romania's new integrity law, particularly the "Fritz amendment" that could affect the mayor's mandate. This evaluation is crucial for Romania's access to €770 million in EU funds. The Commission seeks clarifications on the amendment's compatibility with EU law and its implications for elected officials. The Romanian government is taking steps to ensure compliance and secure the funds, with a payment request due in October. The amendment mandates the immediate termination of mandates for officials found in conflict of interest, impacting several local leaders, including USR's Dominic Fritz. The law was validated by the Constitutional Court and promulgated despite concerns about its implications for EU funding.
