Also, the president of Romania will take part in a discussion panel addressing issues related to migration, on which occasion he will plead for the identification of solutions at European level in the field of managing illegal migration, in the short term, as well as through a more comprehensive approach in the long term, which would allow for greater cohesion and efficiency at European level in addressing this phenomenon.

    GERMANY – Germany’s liberal party has announced that all its ministers will leave Olaf Scholtz’s governing coalition, after the Chancellor fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner. Social Democrat Scholtz thus remains without a majority in the Chamber of Deputies. Scholtz has announced a confidence vote for January 15, which is expected to pave the way for snap elections in March. The bone of contention between Scholtz and his Finance Minister was covering the 2025 budget deficit, at a time when Germany is going through its second year of recession. Several economic sectors are struggling and announcing layoffs, such as the car industry.

    Cooperare militară România – Republica Moldova

    România
    este pregătită să acorde asistență de specialitate şi sprijin Armatei Republicii
    Moldova în multiple domenii     – a afirmat, luni, ministrul Apărării, Angel
    Tîlvăr, cu ocazia vizitei sale oficiale la Chişinău. El a participat la
    recepţionarea celor mai recente donaţii ale Ministerului pe care îl conduce
    către Armata moldoveană constând în echipamente individuale de protecţie
    balistică, respectiv căşti de protecţie tip Kevlar şi veste antiglonţ, dar şi
    autoturisme de teren.

    Această donaţie reprezintă un exemplu concret al
    preocupărilor Bucureștiului de a contribui la asigurarea resurselor necesare
    dotării militarilor Armatei statului românofon vecin     – a spus ministrul Tîlvăr.

    Donațiile – a reamintit el – fac parte, de altfel, dintr-un efort continuu al
    României de sprijinire a Republicii Moldova în domeniul înzestrării Armatei cu
    echipamente moderne.

    Oficialul român s-a aflat la Chişinău la invitaţia omologului
    Anatolie Nosatîi. Discuţiile dintre cei doi au vizat cooperarea bilaterală în
    domeniul Apărării, precum și cooperarea în context regional, NATO şi al Uniunii
    Europene. Nu a fost ocolită, desigur, evoluţia mediului de securitate ca urmare
    a războiului de agresiune purtat de Rusia împotriva Ucrainei, cu accent pe
    situaţiile provocate de bombardamentele ruseşti asupra porturilor ucrainene de
    pe Dunăre, în imediata vecinătate a graniţelor cu România şi Republica Moldova.

    Totodată, a fost reiterată susţinerea deplină a României pentru avansarea Chișinăului
    pe parcursul pro-european, precum şi importanţa participării sale la proiectele
    subsumate iniţiativei regionale Procesul Reuniunilor Miniştrilor din Europa de
    Sud-Est (SEDM), format pentru care România exercită preşedinţia rotativă, din
    luna iulie a acestui an până în iulie 2025. Legat de acest ultim subiect, miniștrii
    Angel Tîlvăr și Anatolie Nosatîi au evaluat paşii concreţi pe care Republica
    Moldova trebuie să îi facă pentru pregătirea procesului de aderare la acest
    format regional de consultări politico-militare.

    Puteţi conta pe întregul
    nostru sprijin, astfel încât dezideratul aderării la SEDM să fie atins în
    timpul exercitării mandatului României la preşedinţia acestui forum. Alăturarea
    Republicii Moldova cu drepturi depline la această iniţiativă va întări statutul
    său în plan regional şi internaţional şi va oferi noi oportunităţi de cooperare
    în plan militar cu ţările din regiune     – a arătat Angel Tîlvăr. Amintind de rezultatele pozitive ale recentei
    reuniuni a Comisiei militare mixte româno-moldovene de la Târgu Mureş, din luna iunie, la nivel de secretari de stat, ministrul Tîlvăr a
    conchis:

    Cooperarea bilaterală în domeniul Apărării a atins un nivel
    foarte bun, iar acest lucru nu face decât să ne bucure şi să ne impulsioneze să

    Vertreter der südosteuropäischen Verteidigungsministerien (SEDM) treffen
    sich am Mittwoch in Bukarest. Rumänien wird durch den Staatssekretär beim
    Verteidigungsministerium Doru Claudian Frunzulică vertreten. Laut einer
    Pressemitteilung des Verteidigungsministeriums ist das Treffen eine Gelegenheit
    für Bukarest, sein Engagement für die im Rahmen dieser Initiative
    durchgeführten Projekte zu bekräftigen und Vorschläge für die Konsolidierung
    der SEDM als wichtigste Kooperationsplattform in Südosteuropa zu unterstützen.
    SEDM ist eine regionale Initiative, die dazu beitragen soll, den Frieden zu
    erhalten und die Nachbarschaft und eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen den
    osteuropäischen Ländern zu stärken, indem sie den politisch-militärischen
    Dialog und die Beteiligung an konkreten Projekten im Bereich der regionalen Sicherheit
    und Stabilität fördert.






    Der rechtsgerichtete rumänische Präsident
    Klaus Iohannis hat am Dienstag den Vorsitzenden der Nationalliberalen Partei
    Ludovic Orban zum Ministerpräsidenten ernannt. Dieser soll ein neues
    Regierungsteam bilden, das dem Parlament
    zur Billigung vorgelegt werden soll. Laut Iohannis ist PNL die größte
    Oppositionspartei und der Befürworter des Misstrauensantrags, mit dem in der
    vergangenen Woche die von Viorica Dăncilă geleitete sozialdemokratische
    Exekutive entlassen wurde. Der rumänische Staatschef behauptet, die neue
    Regierung solle sich unter anderem mit der guten Organisierung der
    Präsidentschaftswahlen befassen, den Haushalt für 2019 schließen und den für
    2020 aufbauen. Ludovic Orban erklärte seinerseits, dass sein Team sich durch
    Ehrlichkeit, Kompetenz und Integrität auszeichnet und Lösungen für die großen
    Probleme Rumäniens finden werde. Die Priorität der neuen Regierung sind die
    Wiederherstellung des makroökonomischen Gleichgewichts des Landes, die Umstrukturierung
    des Staatsapparats, die Investitionen in die Verkehrsinfrastruktur, die
    Gesundheitsversorgung und die Bildung, die tatsächliche Unabhängigkeit der
    Justiz sowie die Festigung der europäischen Richtung Rumäniens.






    In Rumänien ist am Dienstag der Lebensmittelpreis-Monitor eingeführt worden.
    Es handelt sich um eine Plattform, die den Bürgern helfen soll, die
    Lebensmittelpreise in den Geschäften im ganzen Land zu vergleichen. Die Nutzer
    können zwischen rund 30.000 Produktarten wählen, was der Hälfte der gesamten
    Lebensmittel auf dem Markt entspricht. Das Projekt ähnelt dem im Juni
    gestarteten Projekt zum Vergleich der Kraftstoffpreise. Die neue Plattform ist
    als Handy-App und im Internet unter monitorulpreţurilor.info verfügbar. Wir
    haben nach den Nachrichten mehr dazu.






    Die rumänische Fußballmannschaft spielt heute in Bukarest gegen Norwegen,
    in der Gruppe F der Qualifikation für die Europameisterschaft 2020. Spanien
    führt die Gruppenwertung mit 19 Punkten an, gefolgt von Schweden mit 14,
    Rumänien – 13, Norwegen – 10, Malta – 3 und den Färöern mit 0 Punkten. Die
    beiden besten Teams jeder Gruppe qualifizieren sich für das Finalturnier. Am
    Montagabend besiegte das rumänische U21-Team Nordirland in der Gruppe 8 der
    Junioren-Europameisterschaft 2021 mit 3-0 auf heimischem Boden. Am Donnerstag,
    auch auf dem heimischen Rasen, schlug Rumänien die Ukraine mit 3-0, nachdem es
    im vergangenen Monat gegen Dänemark mit 1-2 Punkten verloren hatte. Im Juni
    qualifizierte sich Rumänien U21 erstmals im Halbfinale des kontinentalen
    Turniers in Italien und San Marino und sicherte sich damit sein Ticket für die
    Olympischen Spiele in Tokio.






    Eine Einigung zwischen London und der EU über Brexit ist in dieser Woche
    noch möglich, wenn auch immer schwieriger, sagte der EU-Verhandlungsführer für
    Brexit Michel Barnier am Dienstag in Luxemburg. Im Vorfeld der Sitzung des
    EU-Rates für Allgemeine Angelegenheiten in Luxemburg sagte Barnier, es sei höchste
    Zeit für London, gute Absichten in einen Rechtstext zu verwandeln.
    Der Vertreter der finnischen EU-Ratspräsidentschaft, der Minister für
    europäische Angelegenheiten Tytti Tuppurainen, wiederum sagte, dass ein
    Brexit-Deal noch möglich sei, betonte aber, dass die EU sich auch auf ein
    No-Deal-Szenario und auf eine erneute Verschiebung vorbereiten sollte. Ohne ein
    Abkommen zwischen London und der EU bis zum 19. Oktober zwingt ein im September
    verabschiedetes Gesetz den britischen Premierminister Boris Johnson, eine
    dreimonatige Verschiebung des britischen Ausstiegs zu beantragen. London und
    Brüssel versuchen, eine gemeinsame Basis zu finden, um zu verhindern, dass eine
    Rückkehr nach dem Brexit an eine physische Grenze zwischen Nordirland, einem
    Teil des Vereinigten Königreichs, und der Republik Irland, die weiterhin
    Mitglied der EU sein wird, erfolgt.

    GOVERNMENT The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, carries on today his consultations with parliamentary parties on the appointment of a new prime minister and the formation of a new Cabinet. The talks began on Friday, one day after Viorica Dancilas government was dismissed through a no-confidence vote in Parliament, and continued on Monday in a narrow format. Today the head of state is discussing with the leaders of Save Romania Union, the Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians and the National Liberal Party. So far the talks point to a government formed by or around the National Liberal Party, which pleads for a Cabinet of 16 ministries at most. The Liberals announced they are ready to take over power, and the party leader Ludovic Orban is their nomination for prime minister. Save Romania Union spoke in favour of early elections and has several requests in exchange for supporting a new government, including a two-round local election system and a law abolishing compensatory appeals. The Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians on the other hand wants mayors to continue to be elected in one round, while the ex-PM Victor Pontas Pro Romania party says it would support the good projects initiated by a new cabinet. The Peoples Movement Party is willing to be part of the new government alonside the Liberals, but will not work with ALDE and Pro Romania. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats says they will not be part of a new government, and supports a Liberal Cabinet. The Social Democratic Party turned down the invitation to consultations, and its leader Viorica Dăncilă announced the partys parliamentary group would not vote for the new government.





    DEFENCE Representatives of the South-East European defence ministries (SEDM) convene in Bucharest on Wednesday. Romania is represented by the state secretary with the Defence Ministry Doru Claudian Frunzulică. According to a Defence Ministry news release, the meeting is an opportunity for Bucharest to reconfirm its commitment to the projects implemented as part of this initiative, as well as to support proposals for the consolidation of the SEDM as the main cooperation platform in South-East Europe. SEDM is a regional initiative designed to help maintain peace and strengthen neighbourhood and close cooperation among East-European countries, by fostering political-military dialogue and involvement in practical projects in the field of regional security and stability.





    PRICES In Romania, the Foodstuff Price Monitor has been launched today. It is a platform designed to help citizens to contrast food prices charged by stores across the country. The users will be able to choose between around 30,000 types of products, accounting for half of the total foodstuffs in the market. The project is similar to the one that compares fuel prices, launched in June. The new platform is available as a mobile phone app and on the internet at monitorulpreţurilor.info.





    BREXIT Londons most recent proposals regarding Brexit are not good enough, the EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said on Tuesday, at the General Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg, according to diplomatic sources quoted by Reuters. Barnier also said that he needed a legal text by the end of the day, in order to be able to recommend that EU leaders approve an agreement at the European Council due on October 17 and 18. Otherwise, Michel Barnier is likely to suggest additional negotiations with London after the EU summit concluding on Friday. Without an agreement between London and the EU by October 19, a law passed in September forces the British PM Boris Johnson to request a 3-month postponement of UKs exit. London and Brussels are trying to reach common ground on means to prevent a post-Brexit return to a physical border between Northern Ireland, a part of the UK, and the Republic of Ireland, which will still be an EU member.





    FOOTBALL Romanias football team plays against Norway in Bucharest today, in Group F of the 2020 European Championship qualifiers. Spain tops the group ranking with 19 points, followed by Sweden with 14, Romania – 13, Norway – 10, Malta – 3 and Faroe Islands with 0 points. The top 2 teams in each group qualify into the final tournament. On Monday night, Romanias Under 21 team defeated Northern Ireland on home turf, 3-0, in Group 8 of the 2021 European Youth Championship. On Thursday, also on home turf, Romania beat Ukraine, 3-0, after last month it had lost to Denmark, 1-2, away from home. In June Romania Under 21 qualified for the first time in the semi-finals of the continental tournament in Italy and San Marino, thus securing their ticket to the Tokyo Olympics.

    Consultations — Le président roumain, Klaus Iohannis, poursuit la série de consultations des partis parlementaires en vue de la désignation d’un nouveau premier ministre et de la formation du futur Exécutif. Vendredi, à l’issue d’un premier round de consultations, le chef de l’Etat roumain a précisé qu’il était urgent d’installer un gouvernement politique de transition, issu des rangs ou créé autour du Parti national libéral, l’initiateur de la motion de censure qui a renversé jeudi le gouvernement de la sociale-démocrate Viorica Dancila. Le futur cabinet devra préparer le budget pour lannée prochaine et assurer lorganisation dans de bonnes conditions des élections présidentielle de novembre, a insisté le président. Le leader libéral, Ludovic Orban, pourrait être le nouveau premier ministre roumain. L’Alliance des libéraux et des démocrates, ancien partenaire du Parti social – démocrate au sein de la coalition au pouvoir, soutient un éventuel gouvernement libéral, sous certaines conditions. L’Union « Sauvez la Roumanie » se déclare favorable à l’organisation d’élections anticipées au début de l’année prochaine, option rejetée par le Parti du mouvement populaire et par l’Union démocrate magyare de Roumanie. Le parti de la minorité hongroise proposera au président le nom d’un premier ministre, tandis que le Parti du mouvement populaire souhaite que le prochain cabinet adopte un décret d’urgence introduisant un second tour de scrutin aux élections municipales. Pro Romania n’a pas exclu son éventuelle participation à une alliance gouvernementale. L’unique parti à ne pas participer aux consultations avec le chef de l’Etat a été le Parti social-démocrate. Selon Viorica Dancila, les sociaux-démocrates appuieront un gouvernement libéral uniquement si ce parti signe un Pacte pour le bien-être des Roumains.



    Nomination — Le Conseil de l’UE a confirmé lundi la nomination de la procureure roumaine Laura Codruţa Kovesi au poste de chef du Parquet européen.

Le SEDM est une initiative régionale qui contribue au maintien de la paix et à la consolidation des relations de bon voisinage et d’étroite coopération entre les Etats d’Europe du sud-est, par le biais de d’une plateforme de dialogue politique et militaire et par la mise en place de projets viables en matière de sécurité et de stabilité régionales.
