On this occasion, Klaus Iohannis emphasized the political commitment to strengthening the rule of law, justice reforms and the fight against corruption.

Evoking the positive developments already recorded, the president expressed confidence that Romania's efforts and results in the field of justice reform and the fight against corruption will be positively reflected in the report on the European rule of law mechanism (cooperation and verification mechanism, or CVM) for 2022.

At the same time, he reiterated Romania's objective regarding the wrapping-up, as soon as possible, of the CVM, based on "the positive developments registered by Romania."
