The Romanian Senate has been called into an extraordinary session from August 24-26. The session was convened by Senate President Mircea Abrudean and the Permanent Bureau. The primary item on the agenda is the Hydrogen Law, a crucial piece of legislation. Its approval is directly linked to securing the fifth payment request from Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). This fifth request totals €2.84 billion in funding from the European Union. The law addresses outstanding reforms required for PNRR approval, emphasizing its significance for the country’s economic recovery. Lawmakers will prioritize this legislation during the special session.
