Romanian Justice Minister: Romania can meet its goal to lift CVM in 2018

European Commission’s Report published on Wednesday on Romania's progress with judicial reform concludes that Romania can fulfil its objective of having the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) lifted in 2018, in the mandate of the current European Commission – Romanian Justice Minister Tudorel Toader said.

Tudorel Toader: "It is a progress report, that records progress made from the previous similar report in January 2017. It highlights many of Romania's progress from January 2017, providing a basis for the Commission’s conclusion on Romania meeting all the CVM recommendation in the near future, 2018 being a possible time horizon. It is also the commitment that we have assumed, that when taking over the Presidency of the EU Council at the beginning of 2019, Romania will no longer be under the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism".
