  • Justice and Home Affairs Background
    February 2006 JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS BACKGROUND As stated in the 2005 Comprehensive Monitoring Report, “Romania has taken significant steps to address some of the issues within the political criteria which were highlighted in the 2004 report as requiring further improvements, such as the reform and independence of the judiciary. (…) The fight against corruption should receive high priority. Efforts should focus on the effective enforcement of anti-corruption legislation and on preventive measures, fighting high-level corruption and corruption within law enforcement bodies”. Justice system In March 2005 the new Government adopted an ambitious revised Strategy and Action Plan 2005-2007 to reform the justice system. These documents represent a significant step forward in the plans to create an independent, professional and effective justice system and now need to be internalised by the relevant actors. The Action Plan is being implemented according to schedule, with comprehensive monitoring mechanisms consisting of an inter-institutional commission co-ordinated by the Ministry of Justice and a series of working groups within the Superior Council of the Magistracy. The full and effective implementation of the Action Plan should continue without delay. The availability of financial and human resources and comprehensive training as well as accurate and standardised management statistics will largely determine the success of this operation. Following consultation with stakeholders a revision of the so-called three-law package on justice reform (Laws on the Superior Council of the Magistracy, on the Organisation of the Judiciary and on the Statute of Magistrates) was submitted by the Government to Parliament in June 2005 and adopted after a vote of confidence.

  • Fight Against Trafficking in Human Beings
    Progress Report - 17 July – 17 August 2006 - - Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings - 1. Legal framework The Law no. 300 from 11 July 2006 for ratifying the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human beings, adopted on 3 May 2005, open for signature and signed by Romania in Warsaw on 16 May 2005, was adopted. The law was published in the Official Gazette no. 622 from19 July 2006. Through the Government Decision no. 1083 from 16 August 2006, the Government Decision no. 1584/2005 on the setting up and functioning of the National Agency for Preventing the Trafficking in Human Beings and for Monitoring the Assistance provided to the Victims of the Trafficking in Human Beings was amended. The amendments mainly aim to increase the number of the personnel, both in the central structure and in the territorial structures and to strengthen the role that the Agency plays in coordinating the activities developed against trafficking in human beings, according to the recommendations of the EU Monitoring Report from May 2006. Thus: o The new name of the Agency will be The National Agency against Trafficking in Human Beings; o The number of the regional centres of the Agency has been increased from 8 to 15, which will be placed in the counties where Courts of Appeal function; this will ensure a better collaboration with the law enforcement agencies (police, border police), whose coordination structures function in the same counties, in order to take and refer the victims with maximum promptness to the specialized assistance

Matea ş Florian Matea ş Law and Economics Faculty, Social Sciences Department Agora University of Oradea, Oradea, Romania *Correspondence: Florian Matea ş, Agora University of Oradea, 8 Pia ţa Tineretului St., Oradea, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract One area of particular interest, both the European Union and Romania, is the border issue, which requires the setting up of a common institutional framework that embodies all specific courses of action across the EU. The area of border control and Schengen cooperation, which is very important and at the same time very sensitive, imposed at Community level, a continuous development of legal regulations in order to ensure effective security of the EU's external borders. Romania's geo-strategic position makes the Black Sea an indispensable part of Euro- Atlantic security and prosperity. Many of transnational threats facing Europe come from this region. A big part of the area is dominated by economic stagnation, unsafe and insecure borders, organized crime activities and frozen ethnic conflicts. Keywords : border control, organized crime, risk analysis, target. Introduction Romania’s accession to the European Union has resulted in, among other things, establishing new borders of the Community. Thus Romania becomes the eastern limit of the European Union, an important factor, with high share in promoting the interests, values and shared vision of the European space to these areas, the vector of interests of Western democracies, and will support in the future different forms of EU cooperation to other areas of interest.
