Member of the European Parliament Adina Valean said that the final version of a law should definitely be the result of a permanent dialog between all parties involved, which would trigger a higher quality of the law.
Laura Florea, head of the Romanian Lobbying Registry Association told Bogdan Ciuca, chairman of the Legal Committee in the Chamber of Deputies, that they don’t need help in the lobby sector, adding that the current version of the law would trigger their exclusion from the market in a few months.
Florea added that the lobby law refers to a very restricted category, that of professional lobbyists, while the MPs only target the regulation of their profession without taking into account their interests.
Florea said that the association has numerous propositions to improve the law, in order to create a law of transparent interests, which would be filed to the Legal Committee at the end of the conference.
Bogdan Ciuca invited everybody to file amendments to the lobby law at the Legal Committee, so that MPs would be able to analyze all aspects and make the right decisions.
Ciuca saluted the quality of debates in “Mediafax Talks about Lobby” conference, which, he said, was not present in other law-related talks he attended.
Zgonea, Ciuca, Valean, senator Mircea Geoana, experts, lawyers, lobbyists, are attending Tuesday the conference “Mediafax Talks about Lobby”, organized by Mediafax News Agency jointly with the Romanian Lobbying Registry Association.
