CONSULTATIONS – The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, has invited today in Bucharest PM Dacian Cioloş, the National Bank Governor Mugur Isărescu, and the leaders of parliamentary parties to a new round of talks after the Brexit vote. According to the Presidency, Klaus Iohannis will suggest the set-up of a task force to assess the impact of Britains decision to leave the EU on Romania, as well as the opportunities entailed by this decision. At the end of the EU Council held last week, Klaus Iohannis said a new post-accession country project was necessary. This is the second round of consultations initiated by the head of state Klaus Iohannis, after the one held right after the results of UKs EU vote were published on June 24.




GOVERNMENT – The Government of Romania is working on a strategy for the development of the country, PM Dacian Ciolos has today announced. Attending the Forum of Local Public Administration, held in Bucharest, he said he would like this strategy, entitled “Polycentric Romania 2035, to be a framework for regional development. Ciolos added that clearer legislation is needed in terms of the resources allotted to local authorities, given that squander, incompetence and corruption make the spending of these funds rather inefficient. De-centralising certain fields, like agriculture, tourism, youth and sports and encouraging inter-community associations are among the priorities of the Government, Ciolos said.
