Funeral. <\/strong>The
\nfuneral of Queen Elizabeth II is taking place today in London. Around 2,000
\npersons were invited to attend the ceremonies, including 500 foreign heads of
\nstate and government and dignitaries, such as the kings and queens of Belgium,
\nThe Netherlands and Spain, emperor Naruhito of Japan, the presidents of the
\nUnited States and France, Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron, and the
\npresident of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. Romania’s president
\nKlaus Iohannis and Her Majesty Margareta, the Custodian of the Crown of Romania,
\nand Prince Consort Radu, as well as Princess Elena are also attending. In the
\nlast few days, thousands of people have waited in long queues to say farewell
\nto the queen. The queen’s coffin is taken to Westminster Abbey for a service,
\nwhich includes a reading from British prime minister Liz Truss. Details of the
\nservice, including the hymns, were chosen by the queen herself. The coffin will
\nthen be taken in a procession towards the Wellington Arch, with Big Ben set to
\nring once a minute. No planes will fly over London. The queen will be buried at
\nWindsor Castle, next to her husband, Prince Philip.<\/p>\n

Energy.
\n<\/strong>The ruling coalition in Romania is today holding a new meeting during which it
\nmay decide to maintain the cap of 50 bani per 1 litre of fuel beyond the end of
\nthe month. The authorities are preparing measures to save energy in the context
\nof a drop in deliveries of natural gas from Russia and efforts to reduce energy
\ndependence. Prime minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103 said the government is considering a
\nprogramme to encourage the replacement of lightbulbs with more efficient ones.
\nEach ministry will also be required to present a plan of measures to reduce
\nenergy waste. Meanwhile, Romania has reached the minimum 80% gas storage level
\nrequired by the European Union. Across the Union, this level is 84%. In another
\nmove, the National Institute for Statistics said Romania imported over 1.3
\nmillion tonnes of oil equivalent in the first seven months of the year,
\naccounting for 17% less than in the same period last year. <\/p>\n

Justice. <\/strong>A special parliamentary committee for the justice laws is today
\ngiving a final vote on a bill regulating the functioning and running of the
\nSuperior Council of Magistracy. During the debates on the articles of the bill,
\nwhich were rushed through in a marathon two-day meeting, only a few of the
\nalmost 600 amendments proposed were adopted. The opposition says the new
\nlegislation makes the judiciary vulnerable to political influence and asks for
\nthe bills not to be passed until an opinion is received from the Venice
\nCommission, which the Save Romania Union has requested. Justice minister C\u0103t\u0103lin
\nPredoiu says the legislation was drafted taking into account the opinion of the
\nVenice Commission. The bill on judicial organisation is the next from the
\npackage of justice laws to be debated by the special parliamentary committee. <\/p>\n

Belarus.<\/strong> The Romanian foreign ministry summoned Belarus’
\ncharg\u00e9
\nd’affaires ad interim in Bucharest following comments by
\nBelarusian president Alexander Lukashenko that the United States is pushing
\nEurope into a military confrontation with Russia on the territory of Ukraine
\nand that other states, including Romania, may become directly involved. The
\nRomanian foreign minister Bogdan Aurescu said in a
\nstatement that Romania firmly rejects such inadmissible statements that fuel a
\nrhetoric in international relations based on appeal to force and recourse to
\nforce. The statement also says that Romania is a member of NATO and benefits
\nfrom all the security guarantees that derive from this status. <\/p>\n
