"The Commission asks the same thing from all the EU states. Except the UK, all the European Union member states have regulated tariffs," Manicuta said, adding the Romanian authorities were expecting such a notification, as it targets all EU countries.

Discarding regulated energy tariffs is not possible for the time being, as they are intended to protect the final consumer. Thus, Romania will set a calendar to gradually discard regulted prices.

Tudor Serban, state secretary within the Economy Ministry, said on Thursday that Romania will reply to the European Commission.
