Nicusor Dan promulgated a new law. It becomes mandatory to record any meeting of MPs with third parties. “Key element in meeting OECD standards”

Meetings between parliamentarians and third parties will from now on be registered in the Single Register of Transparency of Interests (RUTI), according to a law promulgated by President Nicușor Dan.

“We recently promulgated the Law to amend the Statute of Deputies and Senators, a decisive step for increasing transparency and integrity in the legislative process and a key element in meeting the OECD standards assumed by Romania. The law introduces the Single Register of Interest Transparency (RUTI), a public platform designed to ensure an open and fair dialogue between parliamentarians and representatives of society,” the head of state announced on Tuesday, in a message published on the X social media platform.

The president specified that the main provisions of the new regulation include the obligation to register meetings between parliamentarians and third parties in RUTI 48 hours before, writes Agerpres.

In the case of unplanned meetings, they will be registered within 48 hours of the meeting.

The law defines who are the third parties with whom meetings can take place: mandated representatives of entities with advocacy activity, public affairs, non-governmental organizations, employers, trade unions, chambers of commerce or other structures with a legitimate interest in a legislative initiative under procedure.

Sanctions are also established for non-compliance: written warning for MPs and removal of third parties from RUTI.

The Constitutional Court confirmed the constitutional character of the law, emphasizing that it respects the principles of the rule of law, the quality of the legislation and the representative mandate of the parliamentarians, notes the head of state in his message.

“The enactment of this law strengthens Romania's commitment to a transparent and responsible decision-making process and represents another important step in the advancement of the OECD accession process”, President Dan pointed out.
