According to Gray, the CVM report released Wednesday gives Romania’s authorities a clear perspective regarding what needs to be done.
Both the new Parliament and the new Government have pledged they will fight corruption, protect the rule of law and the independence of the justice system, Gray said.
He pointed out that Romania implemented several but not all of the CVM recommendations.
The EC will adopt a new report on Romania’s progress under the CVM before the end of the year, Gray said. The Commission will continue to monitor the country’s progress regarding justice reforms and the fight against corruption, he highlighted.
