Pfizer seeks to garnish ROMATSA accounts for 3.5 billion lei. Romania contests the seizure in Brussels
Published
The Romanian state is contesting the garnishment of the accounts of ROMATSA, the institution that provides air navigation services in Romania, requested by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. The amount claimed is 3.5 billion lei. The case is being heard in Brussels, in several proceedings concerning this precautionary seizure measure.
Garnishing the accounts means that the company's money is blocked until the dispute is resolved. ROMATSA plays an important role, as it is responsible for air traffic control and flight safety in the country's airspace. For this reason, the company's financial situation is of interest to both the authorities and the public.
According to published information, the Brussels court will hear the conclusions on the merits, that is, the legal recommendations concerning the substance of the case. After this stage, the proceedings will most likely be left for judgment, meaning the judges will analyse the documents before issuing a ruling. The decision will establish whether the seizure of ROMATSA's accounts remains in force or not.
For now, no exact date has been announced for the final ruling. Until then, the garnishment remains active, and the Romanian Government continues to support the challenge before the European court.
