Non in legendo sed in intelligendo legis consistunt

Too busy to do their job

The European Commission decided to pursue infringement procedures against Romania -already second stage - for the energy sector.
The main reason is that the Romanian Parliament failed to pass an emergency government ordinance, that was supposed to assure the compliance of Romanian legislation to the EU Directives 2005/89 and 2003/54. The deadline was in February 2008, the Finance Ministry did sent for deliberation a draft legislation in this regard and also urged the Parliament to pass the governmental emergency ordinance, but Romanian Parliament failed to approve it in due time.
Romania can still avoid a trial, if the required legislation would be adopted.
Unfortunately, the campaign already started, so there is a risk of overlooking what’s really important.
