Therefore, Romanian Competition Council will analyze the situation, said its president Bogdan Chiritoiu. „We want to understand”, said Bogdan Chiritoiu, if there are problems related to legislation, if there are certain errors which Romanian state may have made, or there are problems linked with firms’ behavior which could lead to sanctions.
