(U) Romania's Embassy in Washington notified L/T by Note Verbale on November 14, 2008, that the Romanian Parliament ratified the Accession Protocols on 31 October (Laws Nr.255 and Nr.256). As a result of misinterpretations of the deposit requirements, procedural disruptions due to National Elections that were held on 30 November, and the formation of the new government on 22 December, an official notification from a competent authority has not yet been delivered to the U.S. as Depository Nation. MFA Director General for Legal Affairs Cosmin Dinescu is aware of the final step required for completing the notification, and though the MFA does not have a precise date, it expects this step to be accomplished within the month.
