Romanian National Organization of Insolvency Practitioners
 
About 9 years ago a new association has come into being, namely the Romanian National Association of Reorganization and Liquidation Practitioners, currently known as the Romanian National Organization of Insolvency Practitioners. In this way, were set up the foundations of our profession, which was unknown in Romania until that time, but extremely necessary for an present day free market economy.

According to the law, the Organization is defined as being a non-profit, autonomous, legal entity of public interest, having insolvency practitioners as members under the legal provisions. The leading bodies of the UNPIR Organization are the following: the Congress, the Chairman, the Permanent Representatives Assembly and the National Coordination Council.

The last two Congresses have been dedicated to updating the organizational framework of the Organization by adopting the professional statute, professional ethical code, disciplinary procedure and enforcement of their provisions based on self-regulation, a right conferred to the Organization by the new normative acts.

Throughout the Organization’s existence (1999-2008) more and more members of UNPIR became members of INSOL Europe, thus Romania has a permanent representative on the Board of Administration, namely the UNPIR Chairman. As a sign of recognition for the Romanian insolvency practitioners UNPIR endeavors in supporting the activities and events organized by the Organization, thus we had the great honor, two years ago, to have Bucharest nominated as hosting city one of the Congresses of INSOL Europe. The said Congress, carried out during September 25 - October1, 2006, has been held on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of INSOL Europe.
