Iohannis: I recommend the Parliament to address with utmost responsibility the amendments to criminal codes

President Klaus Iohannis recommends the Parliament to address with the utmost responsibility the legislative modifications in the justice field, specifying that they will bear effects in the long term.

"From the very beginning, I voiced my skepticism regarding these modifications that I find very broad and accomplished in great haste. I can but recommend the Parliament to address with the utmost responsibility these legislative modifications, because they are going to bear effects on the long term," Iohannis said, ahead of attending the European Council's summit, when asked about the amendments to the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code, given that the Chamber of Deputies has already endorsed the package laws of Justice. 

Quizzed whether he intends to address the Parliament, the president said: "Right here, from Brussels I won't say what I intend to do, but certainly we'll have a lot to discuss on this topic."
