In response to the letters of the European Commission in January 2008 and September 2008 underlining the failure of the Romanian Government and Parliament to implement some of the provisions of the relevant European consumer protection directives, and considering the fact that the European Commission began scrutiny of Romanian consumer protection legislation, the Government of Romania enacted Government Emergency Ordinance 174/2008 amending and supplementing the relevant consumer protection legislation (GEO 174/2008).
