Boarding Houses Needs Authorization From County Councils – Bill
The bill on the decentralization of public administration in Romania, drawn up deputy prime minister Liviu Dragnea, widens the prerogatives of country councils in sectors like tourism and hospitality.

Prime Minister Victor Ponta said recently the Government would seek a confidence vote in Parliament in mid-November to pass the bill on decentralization. (Adevarul)
