Romanian cabinet to resign after ruling |
|
http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-romania-political-crisis,0,2194305.story?coll=sns-ap-nationworld-headlinesRomania's Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu said Thursday his Cabinet would resign and early elections would be called after a court blocked essential justice reforms required by the European Union.
The Constitutional Court's ruling on Wednesday delays critical justice reforms that were requested by the European Union, which Romania wants to join in 2007.
The EU has warned Romania that its admission to the bloc would be delayed by a year if it fails to reform its inefficient justice system and enforce antitrust rules.
Tariceanu met Thursday with President Traian Basescu to discuss the situation. He later announced his resignation and said that legal procedures to hold new elections would be started.
