He said another priority is reorganizing the country administratively if the political climate will allow it.
“The new health law will be completed,” Basescu said in a meeting with diplomats accredited in Romania.
Romanian authorities are currently working to draft a new healthcare bill after the previous one was pulled in the wake of street protests sparked by the resignation of a top Health Ministry official.
“I will remain an active partner of the Government in the fulfillment of our commitments as stated in the agreements with the International Monetary Fund and European Commission. We expect the Civil Procedure Code to enter force in June, the new health law will be completed, the reform of state-owned companies will continue and we will take new steps to stimulate the business environment and increase EU fund absorption,” said Basescu.
He explained that the Government has focused on moving forward with the reforms already begun or starting new ones, like the new public sector wage law, the pension system, welfare system, education, labor legislation, justice system and restructuring in the state sector. All these reforms, Basescu added, are “a strong signal of stability transmitted to the markets.”
“As our economy’s stability continues to consolidate and retains a stable rating, there are no grounds for a withdrawal of liquidity from the Romanian market,” he said.
