The assessment is also grounded on the experience of the Office of the General Counsel in working on legal reform and EBRD investment activities in Romania and does not constitute legal advice.

Overall Assessment After becoming a member of the European Union on 1 January 2007, Romania has amplified the process of harmonising its laws with the acquis communautaire. As a result, the country has made significant amendments to its commercial legislation and has substantially reformed the legal framework applicable to investments. Consequently, the business climate has improved, leading to an investor friendly environment. Nevertheless, several vital issues remain to be addressed in order to help Romania reach its full market potential. In particular, despite government’s efforts the problem of corruption remains visible and the laws need to be better enforced. The last few years have seen changes made to key commercial legislation. For example, a new law governing public-private partnerships (“PPP”) was enacted in 2010. A potential area of concern is a lack of clear definition between PPP Law and the ordinance regulating concessions. In addition, the practical outcomes of the law have yet to be tested. A Corporate Governance Code was issued in 2008 and companies are free to apply principles and recommendations set forth in the Code if they so decide. The latest EBRD assessment of the corporate governance legislation showed Romania being in “high compliance” with the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and evidenced no major shortcomings in the relevant framework. Similar favourable results were found by the 2009 EBRD Insolvency Law Assessment and the latest EBRD Assessment of Securities Markets legislation. One of the areas that would benefit from further improvements is the judiciary. One of the main challenges in this area is to ensure a more transparent and efficient judicial process and eradicate corruption. The 2010 Public Procurement Assessment revealed that the legislation in force is in “medium compliance” with international procurement standards. Even though the assessment found that the public procurement law in Romania is based on sound principles of the EU public procurement directives, the enforcement mechanism is deemed to be complicated and inefficient. The legislation in the field of secured transactions is generally considered to be modern and market oriented and provides a number of features required for economic efficiency of the credit market. Moreover, Romania has achieved a well-functioning legal regime in the field of mortgages, which was updated when the new Civil Code came into force in 2011. The European Union regulatory framework for communications was transposed into national law in the telecommunications / electronic communications sector. Nevertheless, Romania is subject to the ongoing legal and regulatory development necessary to remain part of the evolving Europe-wide market for electronic communications. Overall, Romanian legislation is to a significant degree harmonised with EU standards and international best practices. The objective in the short term should be the effective implementation of laws and regulations and improvement of the enforcement process. There remains a noticeable gap between the quality of the laws “on the books” and the practical application (effectiveness) of such laws in a number of sectors. 2 2. The Legal System 2.1 Constitution and courts Romania adopted a democratic constitution in 1991 which was amended in 2003. The Constitution, inter alia, declares the separation of powers and establishes human rights and liberties. It also provides for a bicameral Parliament consisting of a Chamber of Deputies and Senate. Members to both are elected by proportional representation and the former also has a number of guaranteed seats for representatives of ethnic minorities. Parliament is elected for a four year term. The President is the Head of State, who is elected by a universal direct vote for a term of five years and can serve up to a maximum of two successive terms. The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the largest party, or the party leader able to form a coalition when no other, larger alliance exists and his appointment is subject to approval by the President. The Government is empowered to adopt decisions and ordinances with the aim of enabling the execution of laws. It also has the ability to introduce legislation by issuing emergency ordinances. Whilst these are subsequently presented before Parliament for approval, the frequency of application of these powers leads to confusion. The judiciary of Romania is composed of trial courts, tribunals (county courts), courts of appeal, the High Court of Cassation and Justice and the Constitutional Court. Other than the Constitutional Court, all courts deal with the entire range of disputes (civil, criminal and administrative) and their jurisdiction is determined by territory, importance of the subject matter and instance of review (first instance, appeal, recourse, etc). Romania also has its own International Commercial Arbitration Court, which is operated by the non-governmental Chamber of Commerce and Industry and has co- operation agreements with institutions in a number of countries. Further, there is an independent right of judicial review of administrative action. The Constitution proclaims the independent status of judges and they are appointed, promoted and disciplined by the Superior Council of Magistracy. Important judgements are published and accessible to practitioners. The Constitutional Court of Romania is a specialised court that acts as guarantor of the supremacy of the Constitution. Amongst others, the Court has the power to decide upon the constitutionality of laws and treaties (before or after adoption/ratification), to resolve disputes of a constitutional nature between public authorities and to oversee compliance with electoral procedures and referenda criteria. 2.2 Relationship between legal transition and economic progress Experience in the EBRD countries of operations suggests that legal transition and the pace of economic transition progress or regress hand in hand. Given the positive correlation throughout the Bank’s countries of operations between these two dimensions, i.e., legal transition, and overall economic progress, it is reasonable to expect that the future success of the transition process in Romania will be dependent in part on improvement of the process of legal implementation and strengthening the judiciary. Chart 1 below shows Romania’s position compared to other countries of operation in regard to the quality and enforcement of laws and advancement in the transition process. It is expected that further development of the legal framework and improvement of its enforcement process will contribute to the transition of the country and improve its conformity with EU legislation and other international standards. As shown in the chart Romania compares favourably with the other new EU member states. 3 Chart 1 – Rule of law and progress in transition in the EBRD countries of operations Slovak Rep Estonia 4 Hungary Poland Latvia FY R Lithuania Macedonia

Introduction In the summer of 2012, Romania experienced the deepest constitutional crisis in its post- communist history. For the European Union (“EU”), which Romania joined in 2007, the crisis amplified an existential challenge posed by a turn to constitutional authoritarianism in its new member states. Coming after similar developments in Hungary, the Romanian crisis forced the “highly interdependent”2 EU to grapple with the question of how to enforce basic principles of constitutionalism within the states. That challenge would have been unthinkable even a decade earlier. In “A Grand Illusion”, an essay on Europe written in 1996, well before the Eastern expansion of the EU, Tony Judt argued that the strongest argument for such an expansion, which he otherwise did not favor, was that membership in the Union would quiet the “own internal demons” of the Eastern 3 European countries and “protect them against themselves.” It turns out, however, that 1 Associate Professor, Boston College Law School and Director, Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy.

  • Strategic Report EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms 2009-2014 Romania 1 January – 31 December 2016
    Strategic Report EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms 2009-2014 Romania 1 January – 31 December 2016 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The report provides a detailed overview of the progress achieved in 2016 in the implementation of the 2009-2014 EEA and Norway Grants in Romania, with one year before the ending of the programmes. It was the most significant period for the implementation of projects, with a number of 668 projects being completed by the end of December 2016 of the total number of the 837 contracted on all programmes. Within programmes implemented by beneficiary state POs, most of which have benefited from extensions of the eligibility period, 228 projects of the total number of 386 are already finalized (60%). The achievement of results has also progressed significantly, with many programmes reporting the achievement or surpassing of set targets on outcomes and outputs, as detailed in section 2. In terms of financial implementation of the Grants, at the end of 2016, disbursements made by Donors have reached the level of approximately 90%. The overall level of payments to projects made was of 80% of the amounts received (disbursed by Donors) and 72% of the total budget available. Significant progress can also be perceived in the strengthening of bilateral relations, with important results being obtained through both the fund for bilateral relations at national level and in donor partnership programmes and projects. The Fund for bilateral relations at national level has been allocated to contracted initiatives in proportion of 88%. With a 3rd round ended in June 2016, the funds made available through the open call have reached a contracting rate of 94.4%, i.e.

  • Nation Branding and National Identity in Romania
    Nation Branding and National Identity in Romania -An analysis of the ’Discover The Place Where You Feel Reborn’ campaign- Master Thesis Author: Andra-Mihaela Cristea Supervisor: John Hird M.A. Culture, Communication and Globalization February, 2015 Abstract The following thesis want to explore the concept of national identity in relation to the nation brand in Romania. The main focus will be placed on the national brand ’Explore the Carpathian Garden’, with an accent of the latest communications campaign, ”Discover the place where you feel reborn”. Released in June 2014, so far the campaign consists of 3 TV commercials, aired on 6 main national channels; print advertising in local newspapers; and a couple of YouTube videos, which at a first glance seem to be designed for an international audience. However, for this research only the three commercials will be taken into account, since being broadcasted, people are more inclined to be aware of them. Moreover, the target audience so far has been Romanians. The language in which they are narrated is Romanian and no information about them being presented to foreigners is available. Ergo, what this research aims to do is to identify whether a connection between these commercials and the Romanian national identity exists. I have opted for this theme bearing in mind that the campaign belongs to the ’Explore the Carpathian Garden’ brand, a brand whose logo and message were rejected by the Romanian population when they were released to the public in 2010. Hence, I wanted to see if people’s perception about the brand has changed over time, and if these new commercials are better than previous attempts, if they manage to capture the core essence of the national identity.

  • The Socialist Sacred: Atheism, Religion, and Mass Culture in Romania, 1948-1989
    THE SOCIALIST SACRED: ATHEISM, RELIGION, AND MASS CULTURE IN ROMANIA, 1948-1989 BY ZSUZSÁNNA MAGDÓ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair and Director of Research Professor Keith Hitchins Professor Mark Steinberg Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille ii ABSTRACT Drawing on new archival sources, official publications, and oral histories, I challenge the self-portrayal of socialist civilizations as scientific, secular, and the “other” of everything religious. Between 1948 and 1989, the Romanian communist regime sought to disenchant believers with a scientific, materialist worldview. Yet, it likewise strove to imbue citizens’ lives with socialist sacred meaning. My work demonstrates that we cannot understand late socialism’s contradictory drive for rationalization and re-enchantment without examining how elites produced knowledge about atheism and lived religion. This dissertation analyzes elite interactions with believers and the Central Committee from 1948, when transforming religiosity emerged as a party priority, to the end of the socialist era. My chapters focus on science popularizers, preservationists, sociologists, and folklorists in institutions of cultural administration and research newly created to manage socialist beliefs and behavior. These elites shaped the place of religion and atheism in Romanian society while competing for resources within the centralized structure of the Party-State. Their voices mattered because they engaged believers for whom national and religious belonging coincided. Elites also provided specialized knowledge for party organs committed to achieve convergence between ideology and citizens’ subjectivity.

Micale ii Abstract This dissertation explores how athletic victories in elite sports, particularly on the international stage, became Romanians’ ultimate expression of "Romanian-ness” during the Cold War years. As a result of the Romanian socialist state’s efforts to foster international successes in gymnastics, foreigners would ultimately associate elite women gymnasts’ success with the Romanian nation itself. The chapters of this dissertation explore the ways the Romanian socialist state fashioned elite women’s gymnastics as a key way to (1) fashion a sense of national pride and national community at home, (2) legitimize the socialist regime as a successful state, both internally and externally, (3) project positive images of Romania abroad in order to secure international recognition and prestige. During the Cold War, Romanian women gymnasts became cultural, national, and socialist heroes. Using Romanian archival sources, a wide range of Romanian periodicals, and American newspapers and magazines, this study examines the institutional and cultural development of elite women’s gymnastics in Romania from its earliest beginnings in the 1950s through the collapse of socialism in 1989.
