For the negotiations with Croatia andTurky, the acquis was split up into 35
chapters instead, with the purpose of
better balancing between the chapters:dividing the most difficult ones into
separate chapters for easier negotiation,
uniting some easier chapters, movingsome policies between chapters, as well
as renaming a few of them in the process.

RO: DEA
Department for European Affairs
The Department for European Affairscoordinates:
the elaboration of policies in the field of
European affairs;
the Strategies on European issues; the implementation of the the communityacquis;

Taking into account the new statute ofRomania and also the recent initiatives at
the Community level (such as Better
Regulation or the Package "Single MarketReview"), the correct and completetransposition of the Community Directives
represents a top priority amongst theactions taken by the Romanian
Government.(DEA)
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
13/70
Starting with the draft stageof aCommunity Directive, the governmental
institutions, which have competencies in
the field relevant for the respectivenormative act, have to take part in the
debates within the Community institutions.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
14/70
These governmental institutions are thefactors which must assume the
transposition of the community directives
at the time they enter into force.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania

The Romanian Government has the mostimportant role in the context of transposing
the Community Directives.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
16/70
The following general rulesmay bementioned in relation to the proper
transposition process:
>
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
17/70
1) the institution which has an essentialrole in editing the transposition acts is the
Government;
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
18/70
2) the directives are transposed throughnormativeacts(laws, Government
ordinances or Government urgency
ordinances which must be approvedthrough laws of the Parliament,
Government decisions, orders,
instructions, norms etc., issued byministries and other specialized bodies of
the central public administration).
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
19/70
3) the transposition is accomplishedthrough normative actswhich, by their
very nature, should have a legal stability
(this is the reason why there is apreference for laws, Government
ordinances, Government urgency
ordinances, Government decisions)
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania

The Department for European Affairs(DEA)within the Romanian Government is
the institution which coordinates the
European Affairs in Romania.

8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
21/70
Thus, when the directives enter into force, DEAensures that the institutions assume thetransposition of directives, that there is continuityduring the transposition process(the national
institution which takes part in the debates on thedraft of the community act must be also theinstitution which accomplishes the transpositionprocess), and that transposition and notificationdeadlines are observed.
Periodically,the Department for EuropeanAffairs presents notes and memos to theGovernment on this topic.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
22/70
After assuming the transposition of acertain directive related to its competence
field, the institution involved starts the
elaboration of the transposing act/acts.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
23/70
According to the provisions of the art.25 ofthe Government Decision no.1226/2007,
the institution elaborating a transposing
normative act has the obligation ofconsulting the Department for European

8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
30/70
In order to ensure the fact that theprovisions of a national normative act arefully in concordance with the transposed
community provisions and in order toavoid the insert of some provisionsincompatible withthe acquis after giving itsfavorable opinion, the Department for
European Affair is the last institution togive its opinion on the draft, before theMinistry of Justice.

Community Regulations
Unlike the Directives, the CommunityRegulations are not to be transposed into
national legal acts,as they have a direct
effect into the legal order of each MemberState, from the moment of their entering
into force.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
61/70
Community Regulations.
Taking into consideration that no nationallegislative measures of transposition must
be adopted, in such situations, these
Regulations must be assumed by eachinstitution in Romania with responsibilities
in their application.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
62/70
Community regulation..
In the same time, besides the commitment ofimplementing the Regulations in their field ofcompetence, the institutions must assess eachsuch community act, as well as the Romanian
normative acts relevant for the respective field,and, as a result of the assessment process, theinstitution responsible for creating the nationallegislative framework necessary for the direct
application of EU Regulations on the Romanianterritory must take the following steps,
depending on the circumstances:
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
63/70
Community regulation
- to correspondingly repeal or modify theprovisions of national acts which overlap,
infringe or impermissible add to the
community Regulations, in order to avoidparallelisms, violations or obstacles in the
way of their direct application;
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
64/70
Community regulation
- to initiate/adopt the necessary legislativeor administrative measuresin order to
grant the direct application of the
European Regulations in the national legalorder.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
65/70
Community regulation.
Also, even if the Regulations are directly applied,the Member State has the responsibility ofassuring their legal implementation framework.When the Member State assures a faulty legal
framework making impossible the application ofthe Community acquis or does not assure theefficient implementation of the legal provisions inthe field, the European Commission may
proceed with the procedures for non-compliancewith the obligations following from the Treatyestablishing the European Community.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
66/70
The European Commission is monitoringthe harmonizationprocess between the
national legislation and the Community
acquis, thus, assessing the application ofCommunity law as it is transposed (when
referring to directives) or implemented
(when referring to regulations), in theMember States.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania
67/70
Considering the hypothesisin which theEuropean Commission decides to proceed toactions against Romania for non-compliancewith its obligation of transposing the community
directives, the Department for European Affairs,through its Governmental Agent for theEuropean Court of Justice and the Court of FirstInstance,is the structure which elaborates andsends to the European Commission Romania's
position concerning the "mise en demeure"letters and the "avis motiv" sent by theCommission.
8/12/2019 Transposition Process Romania

Also, DEA, by its Governmental Agent forthe European Court of Justice and the
Court of First Instance, is the institution,
which ensures Romania's representationduring the contentious stage of the
procedures startedfor non-compliance
with the obligations in its quality of EUmember state.
