  • [01] CSAT decision passed in parliament

    With 244 votes for and 160 against, the Romanian Parliament has answered President Emil Constantinescu's request and passed the decision of Romania's Supreme Council for Defence (CSAT) allowing NATO planes to enter the Romanian airspace in case of emergency during virtual attacks against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The CSAT decision is also allowing Romania to send a team of 250 people in aid operations for an undetermined period of time. At its session on Wednesday, the parliament has also issued an appeal to its counterparts in NATO member states calling for diplomatic solution to the crisis in Kosovo. The opposition expressed its protest against the president's demand as it claimed that the decision broke the bilateral agreement with Yugoslavia and it was actually against Romania's national interest. The majority in parliament insisted that the decision complied with Romania's commitments to the Partnership for Peace and the UN 1199 Resolution. RADOR

    [02] Cristian Hadjiculea appointed as new president of TVR Administration Council

    At its session on Wednesday, the parliament has appointed stage director Cristian Hadjiculea as the new president of the Romanian Television's Administration Council. Following a secret round of voting, 247 MPs have favoured Mr Hadjiculea while 122 were against. The plenum has rejected the proposal of the Party of Social Democracy in Romania (PDSR) calling for a review of the voting last week when Lucia Hossu-Longin did not meet the number of votes requested. The majority in parliament claimed that the PDSR proposal broke the parliament regulations. RADOR

    [03] End of a meeting in Budapest

    The Romanian-Hungarian Intergovernment Commission has ended its meeting in Budapest of Wednesday. The chief commissioners have announced that the meeting of Romanian Foreign Minister Andrei Plesu with his Hungarian counterpart Janos Martonyi was posponed because of other appointments as the parliaments and the governments in the two countries were most concerned about the situation in Kosovo.

    [04] Chief of Staff of Romanian Army on his talks with Polish counterpart

    While in Bucharest on Wednesday following an invitation by his Romanian counterpart Division General Constantin Degeratu, the Chief of Staff of the Polish Army, Army General Henrik Szumski, had talks with Romanian Defence Minister Victor Babiuc. In a statement to the press, general Degeratu said Romania was the missing ring in NATO's chain linking its northern Polish front and its southern Turkish front. Mr Degeratu said that, at the talks with the Polish official, minister Babiuc welcomed the efforts of both the international community and Yugoslavia to solve the crisis in Kosovo and expressed the hope that the crisis would really end in the very next future.

    [05] President Constantinescu promulgated the Law on local public finance

    Romanian President Emil Constantinescu has promulgated the Law on local public finance on Wednesday. According to a communique issued by the Press Office of Romania's Presidency, the law includes regulations concerning the setting up, administration, coordination and control of financial resources for territorial administration units, institutions and public services of local interest.

    [06] IMAS opinion poll

    The last opinion poll carried out by IMAS on Wednesday revealed a drop in the number of voters supporting the Democratic Convention in Romania (CDR) following the attempt of the ruling Christian Democrat National Peasant Party (PNTCD) to answer the demands of the Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) concerning the setting up of a Hungarian language teaching state university. The CDR however tops first in the electorate's sympathy with 32.5% followed by the PDSR with 20%. The sympathy for the Greater Romania Party (PRM) raised at 14-15%. RADOR

    [07] Researchers protest

    After picketing the buildings of the Government, Finance Ministry, Research and Technology Ministry and State Ownership Fund (FPS) on September 2 1998, the Trade Union Federation of Romania's researchers and designers has resumed its protests on Wednesday (8-12 AM) by picketing the Romanian Presidency. The trade unionists claim that the widespread destruction of the scientific research was completely achieved by the Emergency Ordinance 14/1998 and the delay in adopting the Government Ruling on the national plan for research and development.

    [08] NAVROM sailors facing serious problems

    The Romanian authorities have been trying hard during the summer to solve the situation of the sailors on the Romanian ships arrested in several ports around the world. Many of them were sent back home and replaced by other crews. Now it seems that the new crews are also facing problems. Some sources say that two Romanian ships near the Suez Channel in Egypt are facing growing difficulties: the "Caciulata" cargo ship having 14 sailors on board was arrested for unpaid debts while the "Dumbraveni" was badly damaged and needed repairs. The crew on "Dumraveni" includes 13 sailors. RADOR
