The new Cabinet led by Viorica Dancila won by a vote of 282 to 136, while one lawmaker refrained from voting.
Dancila, who will be Romania’s first woman prime minister, said in Parliament before the vote that she aims at reducing bureaucracy and simplifying the country’s tax system and that her goal is to have Romania ranking among the strongest economies of the European Union by 2020.
She also announced the new Cabinet’s first sitting, due to take place on Wednesday.
The swearing-in ceremony of the new Cabinet is scheduled Monday at 19:30.
