EU Warns Romania Over Corruption Amnesty

11.01.2019

EU commission president Jean-Claude Juncker on Friday (11 January) warned the Romanian government not to press ahead with a planned law that would grant amnesty for corruption offences, undermining such EU "essentials", such as rule of law.

"It would be a step backwards," Juncker told reporters at a press conference with Romanian president Klaus Iohannis.

The planned law would decriminalise some forms of corruption and grant an amnesty to offenders.
