European Commission expresses concern about the latest developments in Romania in terms of the “independence of the Judiciary” and calls on the Romanian Parliament to rethink the changes in the Justice laws.

“The independence of Romania's Judiciary and its ability to effectively combat corruption are cornerstones of a strong Romania within the European Union”, mentions a Joint Statement of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and First EC Vice-President Frans Timmermans.

The irreversibility of the progress achieved so far under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism is an essential condition to phase out the Mechanism, state the two officials.

European Commission again warns against backtracking and will look thoroughly at the final amendments to the Justice laws, the criminal codes and laws on conflict of interest and corruption, to determine the impact on efforts to safeguard the independence of the Judiciary and combat corruption – according to a European Commission press release.
