Notes and Proposals Regarding the Changes and Amendments to the Romanian Constitution – 2013

The following proposals are but a small part of those that were made in several stages during the year 2013, first in the Forum[1] coordinated by the Association ProDemocra ia (NGO) then on the text proposed/ adopted as amendments by the parliamentary committee established to review Romania’s Constitution in the spring of 2013, including the proposals and comments made by the Romanian Ministry of Justice. The texts capitalize largely on the case law of the Constitutional Court, the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice and legal doctrine, especially the recent constitutional doctrine of Romania and other European countries. Also, we the authors have used the relevant jurisprudence of the courts in Romania, proving also their personal toll by professional experience in the legal field and by academic experience. The team of authors consists of a larger group based at the Faculty of Law, part of the University of Transylvania from Bra ov.
