TOOLS TO ENSURE THE PREVENTION OF CONTRAVENTIONS
Elena Emilia ȘTEFAN
Abstract
Nowadays, the most common form of law infringement is contravention. The Romanian
contravention law was improved at the end of 2017 by a legislative novelty regulating the instruments
to ensure the prevention of contraventions.
The contraventions provided in th is administrative act are diverse and it is interesting that
despite this, the la w maker provides in many cases the application of a penalty, namely th e warning,
which is then followed, as the case may be, by the application of a measures plan, limited in time.
Furthermore, the offenders will not be pardoned every time, but only once, provided that they fulfill the
obligations provided by the measures plan and within the deadline established by the official examiner.
This law would have remained only at the stage of intention and without application if the executive
had not adopted the administrative act identifying the contraventions con templated by it, but once the
respective Government resolution has been adopted, we can only wait for the time to see the
effectiveness of it application.
This is why, in this study, we will analyze this topic by being of great i nterest and adapted to
social realities. By being a legislative novelty for the national law system, the scientific research that
we performed is mainly focused on the legislation and the doctrine.
Keywords: Contraventions, prevention law, correction plan, warning, Government resolution.
