The sheer frequency of legislative modifications in Romania, which exasperates both citizens and the business world, does not only stem from the need to change legislation after the revolution of 1989, but also from the ease with which the governments that succeeded each other during the last 20 years adopted emergency ordinances. The champion of emergency ordinances is the Cabinet of former prime minister Mugur Isărescu, who, in a single year (2000) issued 297 emergency ordinances, while in the same year Parliament adopted 683 laws, which means a total of 980 pieces of legislation. The database of the Legislative Council offers a complete picture of what happened in the legislative field over twenty years. In Romania, there are currently a huge number of pieces of legislation in force, individual and international, 95,618 on January 28, 2011, of which only 1,958 were issued before 1989. Each law needs to be abided by because one cannot cite ignorance of the existence of that piece of legislation as an excuse. The rate of legislative modifications explains the bewilderment of common people, as well as of companies and accountants, when such legislative modifications occur, and explains why lawyers and legal consultants are so successful.

Key streets and entrance points keep changing hands. There are also urgent appeals going out for medical supplies, blankets and blood donations; people in a position to provide any of those things should monitor Twitter closely for advice on the best way to bring them in; also pick-up and delivery can be arranged.
