The government has approved a draft law, which will be sent to Parliament, aimed at correctly transposing Directive 2014/36/EU on seasonal workers from third countries. The draft legislation proposes amendments to Government Emergency Ordinance No. 194/2002 concerning the regime of foreigners in Romania, as well as to Government Ordinance No. 25/2014 concerning the employment of foreigners.

Companies can still hire seasonal workers from outside the EU, but new, stricter conditions have been introduced, while other requirements have been simplified.
