| Summary: | As the economies of other countries in Western Europe, the Romania's economy went
through a very difficult period because of the international financial crisis, with GDP falling by over
18%. In the situation of no longer being able to meet its payment obligations and under the pressures
of international financial organizations, the Romanian government opted for the radical measure of

power representatives, the Romanian civil servants attacked this measure in national courts and after
that, in front of the ECHR. This article presents the solutions of the Romanian courts, the European
jurisprudence on lowering wages and its implications for public solutions Romanian legal systems. |
