National Press Review, 4 November

The opportune moment for Romania's accession to the euro, the causes and consequences of the tacit adoption of laws in Parliament and the objective of the New Republic movement - are the topics of today's newspapers, reviewed by Mirela Ursachi:

'Giving up the euro is impossible' - the Adevărul writes, quoting an interview with the representative of Romania at the IMF, Mihai Tănăsescu.

He referred to the fact that a country leaving the euro area would disrupt the financial markets in other states also.

Mihai Tănăsescu said he was in favour of Romania's accession to the euro as soon as the country and people are prepared.

He approached topics such as CAS cuts and Romania's obligations under the agreement with IMF.

'Parliament becomes, at its discretion, unicameral' - the România Liberă comments on the situation in which many laws are adopted after the debate in one Chamber.

The paper provides an overview of the draft legislation adopted tacitly in the two chambers of parliament and reveals the causes of the MPs' lack of mobilization, including 'lack of sanctions for truancy.'

However, the article's editor points out that the phenomenon takes place under conditions in which 'politicians both in power and opposition, preclude the application of the referendum in 2009, when Romanians were called for a unicameral parliament and a maximum of 300 elected dignitaries.'

Under the heading 'Next spring, the New Republic turns into a party', the Evenimentul Zilei presents an exclusive interview with Michael Neamţu, founder of the movement the New Republic.

He talked about the chances in the upcoming elections and stated that his goal is "the recovery of the disappointed electorate by the former members of the Justice and Truth Alliance."

Also, Mihail Neamţu reviewed the downs of the political parties and expresses its opinion about the Romanian monarchy.

"A bankrupt dairy farm prevents the coming of BMW" - the Jurnalul Naţional writes.

The article mentions that the coming of the German group in western Romania encounters an obstacle, respectively the potential investors, extremely difficult to satisfy by the authorities from Arad, as they require 400 hectares of land to build an engine factory.

The publication notes that on the place that meets these conditions there is situated the research station for cattle, Ceala, a bankrupt firm that ought to be moved to avoid losing such a major investment.
