ANTI-CORRUPTION SUMMIT Romania’s deputy Prime Minister Costin Borc and Justice Minister Raluca Pruna over Wednesday and Thursday will be participating in an anti-corruption Summit in London as well in the conference preceding it entitled ”Together in the fight against corruption”. According to the Justice Ministry in Bucharest, the summit hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron, will be attended by international leaders, representatives of the business environment and civil society. High on the agenda will be government transparency, the enforcement of anti-corruption laws at international levels, consolidating international institutions and information confidentiality at corporation level.



PUBLIC PROCUREMENT A new law package on public procurement was passed on Tuesday by the decision-making Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest, a month later than the date set by the European Commission, which has criticised Romania for the delay. The new law has taken over community directions introducing rules that should be enforced in all EU countries. The adoption of the new legislative framework will simplify the public procurement process and reduce the number of contests. Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos has pledged the norms of applying the new laws will be adopted by the government as soon as possible.



ATTACK The man who stabbed to death a person wounding three others in the station of Grafing, close to Munich, is believed to have a history of mental health problems and drug abuse, Joachim Herrmann, interior minister of Bavaria state said at the same time ruling out the hypothesis of an Islamist attack, the DPA reports. Investigators have been following such a lead after the two Jihadi attacks that occurred against policemen in the past two months in Germany. German fighters belonging to the terrorist group ISIS in August 2015 issued threats against Germany and against chancellor Angela Merkel, pledging revenge for Germany’s support of the anti-ISIS fight and the presence of the German army in Afghanistan.
