Sorin Grindeanu affirmed this Sunday that he will resign, in September, from the position of president of the National Authority for Administration and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM), after the entry into the parliamentary debate of the Romania-United States memorandum on 5G technology, reports Agerpres.

Asked at a press conference at the PSD headquarters if he will resign from ANCOM, given that he was recently elected first vice president of the Social Democrats, he replied: “From the moment I entered the incompatibility (…) once I return to PSD According to the law, I have 90 days to choose and get out of incompatibility, I tell you as frankly as possible that I made the decision. For days, I will resign from ANCOM.

This mandate was motivated by the memorandum between Romania and the United States on 5G technology, signed last summer.

“At this moment, the bill for the transposition of the memorandum with the United States, signed last summer, into Romanian legislation, is in public debate, in decisional transparency. I want this to get in the normal way. They have worked very hard. “There is a lot of discussion at the ministerial level. I think that in the next two or three weeks this bill will enter a parliamentary debate, in a way that transposes the memorandum as clearly as possible.”

Grindeanu said he was a “total supporter” of the act.

My position is as clear as possible and I convey to you once again: I fully support the transposition of the memorandum with the United States, without nuances, signed last year between us, the Government of Romania, Romania and finally the United States of America. “It is a memorandum that will be passed into law in the next few weeks, because the memorandum does not replace the law,” he said.

Romania must evaluate 5G equipment providers

The Romanian government has committed to rigorously evaluating vendors of 5G equipment, according to the memorandum of understanding signed between Romania and the United States, made public by the Ministry of Communications and Information Society.

Specifically, the governments of the two countries support the need to comply with the evaluation criteria of 5G technology providers to protect networks from unauthorized access or possible interference.
