Speaking at a press conference, Nita said foreign utility giants like Enel (Italy), CEZ (Czech Republic) and E.ON (Germany), which bought power distribution companies in Romania, export the profits obtained locally and import used equipment.

“I am calling on foreign companies to revise their power distribution policy in Romania, as their actions must not hurt household or industrial consumers. Local authorities keep complaining that these companies can’t or won’t do anything to improve the power distribution networks. It is unacceptable,” Nita also said.

According to Nita, the government will improve the country’s energy law so that all products introduced in Romania’s energy sector can be certified locally, because too many poor quality products reach the country.
