February 25, 2005

The Department of State wishes to alert interested parties to a request by the Romanian National Authority for the Protection of Children's Rights for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to provide suggestions on how to better implement Romania's new child welfare law and how to amend it. The Department of State and U.S. Embassy Bucharest have encouraged this kind of open discussion and public input and welcome this positive response by the Government of Romania. The NAPCR's website notice (below) provides further information and instructions on how to submit suggestions to the Government of Romania.
