UK Ambassador to Romania Paul Brummell stated on Wednesday that Romania has made progress after its accession to the European Union regarding the state of law and the anti-corruption fight and showed that it is important amendments brought to the Justice laws assist this process.
He highlighted that a large-scale consultation regarding the amendments brought to the Justice laws is necessary.
The changes of legislation are for Romania. Of course, it is important to hold discussions with all interested parties, a large-scale consultation and it is important that the amendments help the process with regard to the rule of law and the fight against corruption, the British Ambassador affirmed.
Brummell recalled the European Commission's recent report as regards the Co-operation and Verification Mechanism.
This report is very useful to Romania and I hope its recommendation will be taken into consideration. (...) We all want Romania to make further progress in the fight against corruption and in maintaining the rule of law, Brummell further said.
