In addition, a draft law has not yet been published by the responsible authority i.e., the Ministry of Justice. While a public calendar was published by the Government for the implementation of such draft law (i.e., was scheduled to be discussed during September 2022 following to be adopted by the end of December 2022), the evolution of the transposition of the Directive until the deadline, i.e., 31/01/2023, is in question.
Apart from cross-border mergers, Romania currently lacks a clear unified legal framework for conversions and divisions across borders. The consequence of this legislative void or the overlap of the regulations make the protection of the interested parties, such as employees, creditors or minority shareholders, to be often ineffective or insufficient.
The Companies Law currently regulates the cross-border mergers between Romanian joint-stock companies, companies in incorporated partnerships, limited liability companies and European companies with their headquarters in Romania which can merge with companies that have their headquarters or, as the case may be, the central administration or headquarters principally in other EU/EEA Member States. As such, the Romanian law transposes the provisions of the Directive (EU) 2017/1132 relating to certain aspects of company law (codification) as regards the cross-border mergers of limited liability companies, but cross-border divisions and conversions remain in the legislative vacuum that the Directive has finally filled.
A straightforward cross-border merger process involving a Romanian absorbing company currently takes at least six months, however, the timeline highly depends on the applicable procedures of the other Member State involved. Similarly, currently the merger procedure for Romanian companies is time-consuming, given that the average timeline for such procedures to be completed is at least 5-6 months.
Procedural and operational rules which are currently not regulated will be filled as soon as the Directive is transposed in each country and applied at Community level, providing an uniform regulatory and protection framework for the categories concerned, for example creditors and employees.
For the cross-border merges, under the Company law, the a priori verification of the merger documents is currently under the competence of the delegated judge of the Trade Registry. However, this competence will change as of 26 November 2022 due to the transposition in July 2022 of the Directive (EU) 2019/1.151 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 amending Directive (EU) 2017/1.132 regarding the use of digital tools and processes in company law, and the delegated-judge will be replaced by a Trade Registry registrar.
During a cross border merger process, the Romanian Trade Registry issues a finalisation certificate for the first part of the process when the Romanian company is the absorbed entity. Subsequently, the cross-border transaction will be finalised in the other Member State involved.
To the contrary, when the Romanian company is the absorbing one (inbound process), the cross-border transaction will be finalized in Romania based on the document issued from the designated competent authority of the other Member State involved.
As per the Directive, in order to ensure an efficient and effective ex ante control of cross-border operations, the competent authorities in the Member States of the company or companies which carry out the cross-border operation must have the competence to issue a pre-transformation, pre-transition or prediction certificate.
