The main agenda will \u00a0focus on fulfilling commitments to boost defence budgets and European allies\u2019 taking greater responsibilities, further support for Ukraine and efforts aimed at the operational and industrial consolidation of the alliance, as the result of growth of businesses, production, and technological innovation. According to a statement from the president\u2019s office, Romania will reaffirm its status as a reliable ally making a significant contribution to Euro-Atlantic security. He is also expected to emphasise the need for continued Allied support for security in the Black Sea region and strengthening a unified deterrence and defence posture on the Eastern Flank. The Romanian president will also highlight the regional consequences of Russia&#8217;s actions, including their impact on Romania, with a particular focus on the need to boost air and maritime defence. On the sidelines of the summit, president Nicu\u0219or Dan will also hold several bilateral meetings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Court. <\/strong>The interim government in Bucharest says it will challenge in court this week the enforcement proceedings against ROMATSA\u2019s accounts ordered by a Belgian court over the Romanian state&#8217;s 600 million euro debt to pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for unpurchased COVID vaccines. Interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan says the government is simultaneously continuing confidential negotiations with the vaccine manufacturer. ROMATSA, the Romanian air traffic control operator, has given assurances that flights are proceeding normally and that air traffic safety is not at risk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fires.<\/strong> On Sunday, Romanian firefighters worked to protect homes, contain the spread of the fire, and assist French authorities in their assigned sectors within the Trevillach\u2013Montalba-le-Ch\u00e2teau area in the south of France, where wildfires are currently burning. According to the Department for Emergency Situations, Romania\u2019s specialised forest firefighting unit, which is deployed to France as part of the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism, is continuing its mission today under the coordination of the French authorities. From July 1 to July 31, the Department for Emergency Situations is contributing a specialised forest fire unit in the European pre-positioning program held in France by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations. The initial contingent comprises 40 Romanian firefighters and several forest fire vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legislation.<\/strong> Acting Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan plans to submit several bills to parliamentary political parties this week considered crucial for implementing reforms under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and securing over 5 billion euros worth of funding. The measures primarily concern the new public sector pay law, which is the subject of negotiation between Romania and the European Commission over maintaining the cap on wage expenditure at a maximum of 8.1% of GDP, as well as amendments to the civil service statute and measures to boost budget revenue collection and combat tax evasion. This move comes as Ilie Bolojan has announced plans to ask the speakers of Parliament to call an extraordinary session in the second half of this month in order to put the bills to vote.
