Yesterday, the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Romania (CCIPR) took part, together with Patronatul Concordia and the main international Chambers of Commerce (United States, France, Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom), in the preliminary discussion on the new fire safety regulations, which will be subject to public debate over the coming week.
The meeting, promoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, was chaired by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Dr. Raed Arafat, with the participation of the heads of the Firefighters Corps. The session was moderated by Mihai Jurca, Head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, and also featured an address by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, who presented the rationale and main objectives of the reform.
The debate also included representatives of HORECA associations and CEOs of major retail chains, highlighting the broad engagement of the private sector.
The proposed amendments are based on principles of administrative simplification, digitalization of authorization processes, shorter issuance times, greater transparency and public information, as well as enhanced accountability for builders and designers, not only business operators. A clearer definition of inspection and control procedures is also envisaged.
The CCIPR welcomes the guiding principles of the new regulation, which could represent significant support for economic operators. However, during the public consultation phase, it will be important to carefully assess the potential impact on micro-enterprises, particularly restaurants and small businesses, which represent a key segment of our membership.
President Roberto Musneci reaffirmed the CCIPR’s full support for the principles of simplification and modernization underpinning the draft regulation, emphasizing the Chamber’s commitment to collecting and voicing the feedback of its members, with particular attention to the needs of micro and small enterprises.
