> Seminar on the new Romanian civil procedure taking place at the German-Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 07.03.2013

On 15.02.2013, the new Romanian civil procedure (Codul de Procedura Civila) comes into force. It forms integral part of an intensive reformation process which began with the implementation of a new civil code and which changes radically the existing system of civil and enforcement procedures. The main idea consists of making the procedures faster and more efficient. Because of the existing problems regarding the infrastructure and the personnel, it has been long discussed the time and the extent to which the civil procedure will come into force. It was only in the last minute, as they say, that the issue was regulated; the consequence a softened but practical version.
