ROIn Romania, companies and other employers cannot currently be fined for violating the EU directive on salary transparency, as there is no national law yet to transpose the directive into domestic legislation, according to a response from the Ministry of Labor to a request by StartupCafe. The EU directive came into effect nearly a month ago, but without a corresponding Romanian law, the obligations outlined in the directive do not impose any financial penalties on employers. This situation highlights a gap between EU regulations and national implementation, leaving businesses unaffected by potential sanctions.
