\n2007-2013 financial framework should be finalised by the end of the year, said

Romania’s National Anticorruption
\nDirectorate has requested approval to detain two Liberal MPs, Ioan Oltean and
\nCatalin Teodorescu, who are investigated in a case related to the award of
\nillegal compensations. Also arrested in this case are six other persons,
\nincluding Crinuta Dumitrean, the former head of the National Authority for
\nProperty Restitution, the government agency in charge of restoring property
\nseized under communism to its original owners. Investigators say Ioan Oltean
\nreceived 600,000 euros in bribe from a businessman to put pressure on the
\nproperty restitution body to speed up approval of compensation for property
\nthat had been deliberately overvalued by almost 20 million euros. Catalin
\nTeodorescu, who at the time was part of a panel that established the amount of
\ncompensation, approved the evaluation of the respective property.<\/p>\n

\nNaryshkin, the speaker of the State Duma, the lower house of
\nRussia’s Parliament, travelled to Bucharest today for the handover of the
\nchairmanship of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic
\nCooperation. The Romanian foreign ministry said the Senate in Bucharest was
\nable to invite Naryshkin, who is on a EU travel ban list of persons, <\/em>because
\nRomania is obliged under international law to respect a multilateral agreement

\nminister. The former cabinet of the outgoing Liberal Democrat prime minister
\nValeriu Strelet was dismissed a month ago following a vote of no-confidence
\ninitiated by the socialists and the communists in the pro-Russian opposition.
\nThe collapse of the government led to the dismantling of the pro-European
\nruling alliance made up of the Liberal Party, the Democratic Party and the
\nLiberal Democratic Party. On Wednesday, the Chairman of
\nthe European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs Elmar Brok called for the
\nrecreation of the three-party alliance and the formation of a government that
\nwill carry out real reform. According to the Constitutional Court of Moldova,
\nParliament will dissolve unless a new government is in place by the end of
\nJanuary 2016.<\/p>\n
