Ponta said, cited by Spanish daily El Pais, that he is willing to revise any measure that proves to be in violation of EU regulations.
Ponta left for Brussels Wednesday for talks with EU officials on the current political situation in Romania. A meeting with Barroso was scheduled for Thursday evening.
Last week, Romanian ruling Social Liberal Union started procedures to impeach President Traian Basescu, whom it accused of repeated breaches of the Constitution. The Government also took measures to limit the powers of the Constitutional Court and replaced the democrat-liberal presidents of the two chambers of parliament.
Last Friday, lawmakers voted to suspend Basescu, and decided that a referendum on whether to oust the president or not would be held on July 29.
On July 5, the Government issued an emergency ordinance amending the referendum law to provide that the head of state may be impeached with the votes of the majority of participants in the ballot. The amendment reversed a recent change to the referendum law whereby the President could be removed from office with the majority of all eligible voters in the country.
The European Commission has recently expressed concerns over the political upheaval in Romania, particularly regarding the measures that could threaten the independence of strategic institutions like the Constitutional Court.
