Carpatica Asig, On The Brink Of Bankruptcy
Romanian insurance company Carpatica Asig, which is under resolution procedure, is close to going bankrupt and a decision in this respect will be made Wednesday, at the meeting of the Board of the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF)
Early June 2016, ASF rejected the file submitted by International Insurance Consortium (IIC Group) for the takeover of Carpatica Asig, arguing it did not meet several conditions stipulated by the law. Before ASF’s decision, IIC Group, headquartered in Amsterdam, had withdrawn from the process of fully acquiring the shares of insurance company Carpatica Asig, arguing it was denied access to important and relevant information regarding the insurer’s situation.
Carpatica Asig was placed under a financial recovery plan in 2014. The company has initially failed to attract an investor in its shareholding structure by the deadline stipulated by ASF which decided to apply resolution measures at the beginning of 2016. The financial situation of Carpatica Asig, controlled by businessman Ilie Carabulea, worsened after its owner and former general manager were placed under preventive arrest for corruption in January 2014.

ANCOM Fines Orange, Vodafone And Telekom Nearly EUR200,000
Romania’s telecom regulator ANCOM fined telecom operators Orange, Vodafone and Telekom nearly EUR200,000 (RON900,000).
ANCOM fined the three telecom operators because several rural localities in Romania still have no network coverage.
The three companies are accused of failing to meet their coverage obligations under the licenses for the use of the radio frequency spectrum won at the selection procedure organized in 2012. In turn, the telecom operators blame authorities, arguing that coverage delays are due to setbacks in the process of getting the necessary building permits.
The biggest fine was applied to Vodafone Romania (RON720,000), Orange Romania was fined RON120,000, while Telekom Romania was fined RON60,000. (Puterea)
