Robert Marius Cazanciuc said Monday, April 15, referring to the time of taking over officially  his position as Minister of Justice, according to a press release of Ministry of Justice: ” Thank you very much. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your trust. It honors and obliges me. At the same time, I would like to thank colleagues from the Foreign Ministry, which was 4 years with me and certainly they will help me in the future, especially in terms of Mechanism for cooperation and verification.

Prime Minister made my job easier as a Interim Minister of Justice, in the way that he knows quite well the problems of the ministry, system issues, so we certainly will have a dialogue based on real facts and together we can propose solutions.

Obviously for short terms in court, for trying to make the system more reliable. I’m coming from the system, I know many worth people and I believe that if we will have the required resources we will succeed in making a reliable system. We have priorities related to Codes, we have priorities related to the MCV. There are things to accomplish in the MCV, but I’d like beyond our obligations toward our European partners to help develop a honest relationship of mutual trust. I don’t want just to perform some formal things but we want to gain the trust of our European partners by showing them things as they really are, honestly, as I said, to develop a long-term relationship, at least from the view of the Ministry of Justice.

We are talking about Ministry of Justice, which has certain legal competences. I’ll try in the limit of those competences to develop a reliable relationship with CSM, associations of magistrates, the Parliament, because we need a normative system, predictable, well-formed, so that the effect of the norm is to serve the citizen and not felt sometimes like a heaviness because it was not well developed or was not made sufficiently clear so as to be properly understood by both professionals and citizens.

I will talk in more detail in the next period about the Ministry’s priorities, after I will have meetings with the Secretaries of State in Ministry of Justice, after we establish with Government’s colleagues  what Ministry of Justice can do to contribute to a coherent normative system, well-set and well done. This is all I wanted to say tonight”.
