Recently the Industry Minister, Mircea Ciumara, specified some enterprises in upper situation, such as: RNRC (The Romanian National Railway Company), SIDEX siderurgical aggregate works from Galati, or Independent Administration of pitcoal from Petrosani. The newness of this regulation is that the compensation system will be instituted so that the enterprises will settle their accounts by a compensation service, which will be organized by the Trade and Industry Ministry. Centralization all informations about the debtors and the creditors, thie service will be able to offer the best payment solutions to the enterprises. It will also give an opportunity to find out those enterprises which are in debts one to the other. The specialists say that the immediate economic effects of this regulation coming into practice, are: the lower of the debts and the lack of liquidities will be eliminated.
