CCIR: Changes in Criminal Code "are harmful to the business environment"

Articol de Radiojurnal, 09 Iulie 2018, 13:40

“Amendments to the Criminal Code are extremely toxic for the well-being of the national business environment and will lead to widespread abuse against companies and entrepreneurs”, states the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania (CCIR) in a press release published on Monday, 9 July.

“Romania needs criminal legislation that complies with European standards, and a change in the criminal laws in a hurry only weakens the credibility of the country in front of European partners. The inappropriate modification of the Criminal Code creates the perception of a lack of predictability and will negatively affect Romania's credibility as an investment destination”.

“We believe that Romania must send a strong signal that it succeeds in anchoring itself in the European democratic principles, and for this, the majority coalition should wait for the Venice Commission's opinion, which Romania has requested. Awaiting the Venice Commission's endorsement would also be a sign of seriousness for Romania in front of the European partners”.

“CCIR considers that non-discriminatory and firm enforcement of the law, including through the possibility of punishing abuses, is an element that will increase investment in job creation”.

“Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania publicly requests interested parties to do everything possible to cancel those harmful changes that will lead to widespread abuse against companies and entrepreneurs in Romania”, specifies CCIR.
