The European Commission has issued a list of its requests that the Romanian left-wing government will have to comply with in the aftermath of its bid to kick out President Traian Basescu.

The requests concern the dismissal of incompatible MPs, the reinstatement of certain rules for the validation of a referendum to impeach the President and avoiding naming people at a key anti-corruption body during the interim presidency of Crin Antonescu, according to HotNews.

The rules to validate the referendum to impeach the president must be re-established, while the Official Gazette must no longer be used for the "selective" publication of official decisions, the European Commission has said.

It has also stated that Romania's Ministers must be named from among people who have not received sentences regarding their personal integrity and those who have such sentences must resign.

Romania is going through constitutional trouble as the socialist-liberal majority in Parliament supporting Ponta's cabinet has launched an impeachment procedure against Basescu for allegedly overstepping his powers.
