Romania: EU, government should not touch the judicial system

It's necessary for the country to resume the reform path

03 April, 16:40
(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, APRIL 3 - ''Romania needs to urgently resume the path of reforms and this means going forward, and avoiding any step that could turn the progress achieved in recent years upside down. In particular, I want to warn against any action of the government, which could upset the judicial system by actually creating systematic impunity for politicians prosecuted for corruption crimes. Such a move would oblige the European Commission to act immediately''. That is what the vice-president of the European Commission Frans Timmermans said at the end of the commissioners' meeting. ''I have had some meetings and phone calls with the Romanian premier in the last two months. We have given the government about forty points and restarted the technical discussions. We need to see some results as soon as possible'', Timmermans added. (ANSA).
