“What can we do? It’s a given, we can’t change this, it’s an effort to establish a dialog with these people and organizations. At least this time we don’t have changes, or I hope we won’t, that go deeper than ministry levels, as is always the case when political power changes,” said Steven van Groningen, member of the council.

He added he does not expect problems for the business environment following the Cabinet reshuffle.

“I don’t even want to count how many ministers have changed in the 12 years I’ve had the same position. But I don’t expect any problems,” said van Groningen.

Prime Minster Victor Ponta has reshuffled his Cabinet and appointed 11 new ministers, who were sworn in Wednesday morning.
