Romania’s Lower Chamber Adopts Draft Civil Procedure Code By Articles, Final Vote Pending

All parliamentary group representatives said the current version of the draft, drawn up by a special parliamentary committee, is "the product of teamwork."

According to democrat liberal deputy Daniel Buda, chairman of the special committee, the new Civil Procedure Code "will be a point of reference on Romania's political scene."

After it passes the vote of the Chamber of Deputies, the bill will be analyzed by the Senate.

Romania's President Traian Basescu sent a letter Monday to the presidents of the two chambers of the country's Parliament, renewing his demand that the Civil and Criminal Procedure Codes be adopted before the beginning of summer recess.

On June 9, the two chambers of Parliament adopted a decision whereby Parliament committees have until June 18 to submit reports on the Civil Procedure Code and the Criminal Procedure Code, thus changing the deadline previously set for June 15.
