Emergency certificates for companies whose activity is affected by the coronavirus crisis will be issued online and free of charge, Economy Minister Virgil Popescu wrote on Facebook on Friday.

“There will be no costs for issuing this document. It will be issued online. Important! Certificates will be issued for companies that have activity affected by the coronavirus crisis, as specified in the Presidential Decree! We are talking about a state of emergency certificate, not the force majeure certificate, which is another document issued by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania,” it is stated in the post of the Minister of Economy.

Also, the minister said on Thursday, also on Facebook, that this type of document issued by the Ministry of Economy will be necessary for companies from April 2020, because the state of emergency was decreed in March, according to Agerpres.

“Very important to know: the certificate of state of emergency will be required from April 2020, as the state of emergency was decreed in March. Yes, we do everything possible to adapt to the challenges that this crisis brings us, for that the economy has to go forward,” noted Virgil Popescu.

The Minister of Economy has shown that the order establishing the details of obtaining the emergency certificate is nearing completion, and the document will be obtained online.
