Romania’s acting PM to request extraordinary parliamentary session for PNRR laws

Romania’s acting prime minister Ilie Bolojan said after the July 2 government meeting that the executive will request an extraordinary parliamentary session in the second half of July to adopt nine legislative projects linked to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), as the country faces an August 31, 2026 deadline to implement key reforms and risks losing billions of euros in EU funding.

Bolojan said the government has identified nine remaining legislative milestones needed to complete the PNRR framework and unlock financing tranches, with six considered essential and three classified as complementary measures required to finalise the programme, Bursa.ro reported. He added that the proposals are being finalised after technical consultations with the European Commission and will be submitted to parliamentary groups.
