Reacția României la Avizul nr. 4 al Comitetului Consultativ referitor la aplicarea CPMN
Romania’s Reaction to Opinion no. 4 of the Advisory Committee regarding the application of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the way in which Romania interprets the conclusions and the recommendations in the Fourth Opinion of the Advisory Committee of the Council of Europe regarding the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. First I summarize the Comments of the Romanian Government and highlight the main points of dissent between the latter and the experts of the Council of Europe. I also analyze the Complaint of Unconstitutionality of the president of Romania regarding the Law on the Administrative Code, a complaint that raises objections to many of the articles regarding the rights of persons belonging to national minorities. I conclude that, although Romanian is one of the first states to sign and ratify the Framework Convention, it rejects vehemently the conclusions and recommendations of the Advisory Committee and doesn’t commit politically to implementing them.
