Modificări și completări aduse infracțiunilor prevăzute în legea nr. 78/2000 prin legea nr. 161/2003 privind unele măsuri pentru asigurarea transparenței în exercitarea demnităților

Abstract

The present article aims to analyze the modification of the legislation regarding the prevention, the discovery and the punishment of the corruption acts provided by the Law no 161/2003. The author structures her analysis into five distinct segments, analyzing the new corruption offences, the new category of persons who can be active subject of the corruption offences, the new offences in direct connection with the corruption offences, and the new offences against the European Community financial interests. These modifications represent, in the author’s view, a step forward toward the harmonization of the Romanian legislation with the European law, answering the demands of the admission process. These modifications can give Romania credibility on the international level.
