'After having in the past sent working versions of this document as part of the informal dialogue, Romania officially communicated the European Commission the proposed Partnership Agreement today. The official delivery of this document means Romania is getting near the moment of singing the Partnership Agreement. According to the European regulations, the Commission has three months to analyse the document and such period of time may be stopped if the member state is communicated commentaries on the document, an absolutely normal process applicable to all EU states. At the same time, I underscore that Romania is recording no delay in sending the proposed Partnership Agreement, as the deadline set in the EU rules is April 22, 2014', the release quotes EU Funds Minister Eugen Teodorovici as saying.
