The legislative proposal on the introduction of mandatory contribution for economic actors affects market principles and restricts the principle of free association, according to the representatives of the Foreign Investors Council (FIC)."In a difficult economic context generated by developments in the energy market, inflation and geo-political instability, the economic environment needs measures to support companies and private initiatives. The legislative proposal on the introduction of mandatory contributions for economic actors affects the market principles, as well as restricts the free association principle.

The obligation was included in a draft amendment to Law 335/2007, the Law on Chambers of Commerce in Romania, a bill under parliamentary debate.
