nr. 19, April 2007

In April the business regulatory framework was marked by a series of laws, legislative projects and initiatives. The triple presidential initiative on the economy liberalization dominated the public debates throughout April eclipsing other important evolutions. The Constitutional Court declared as constitutional the provisions of the Regulation on the auto transportation of passengers and goods, stipulating to remove from use all re-equipped vans transporting passengers until the end of 2007. These provisions were contested by a Member of Parliament. It is difficult to imagine how the regulation will be applied, but any hasty interventions could generate severe social and economic consequences.
