Considerations on The Convergence of Romania to The European Union in The Banking Field

According to commitments made by Romania (and by NBR) in the negotiating process to Chapter 11 - Economic and Monetary Union on the acquisition, transfer and implementation into national legislation of the acquis for banking, the NBR Statute was harmonized with the provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the Protocol on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and the European Central Bank , and the other Community provisions on central bank activity in the Member States of the European Union. The draft law on the Statute of the NBR was adopted by the Senate (on June 8, 2004) and the Chamber of Deputies and promulgated by Decree no. 532/26.06.2004, materialized into Law nr. 312/28.06.2004 on the NBR Statute. The new law was published in Romanian Official Gazette and entered into force on July 31, 2004, when Law no. 101/1998 on the Statute of the NBR, with further amendments and completions, was repealed.
