European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Romanian Customs Authority (AVR), an institution set up following the split-up of the General Directorate of Customs from the National Agency of Fiscal Administration (ANAF), will complete by the end of March 2022 the takeover of staff from ANAF and will become operational. From April 2022 onwards, the Authority will start the process of organizing an external recruitment process and will open competitions for 350 positions. AVR is a separate entity operating under the authority of the Ministry of Finance.
AVR has increased the number of staff on the eastern border, especially at border crossings with Ukraine. AVR is also focusing on the implementation of sanctions decided in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine.
