"Today we had a meeting at the House of Parliament with the representatives of the Coalition for Romania's Development. The talks focused on legislative priorities in the new legislative session starting September 1, with an impact on the business environment, in areas such as energy, public procurement, education, insolvency, tourism, red tape cutting, as well as the law of the vulnerable consumer, amid rising energy bills," Orban wrote on Facebook.
