Policy brief #49: Here’s the deal. Give ANRE back its powers and ask for better goverance

The EC threatens Romania with an
infringement on the energy
regulator, while the government
seems to have a point in its
attempts to control ANRE, if we
just look at recent media scandals.
What to do? We suggest a win-win
solution: the Government must
give ANRE independence, but only
in exchange for clear commitments
from ANRE on accountability,
transparency, regulatory quality
and predictability.
