Discrimination: how to ask for your situation to be investigated

Learn how to report discrimination, what evidence to prepare and how to distinguish an institution’s investigation from claims made to a court.

We help you choose the institution and prepare the text. We do not send anything on your behalf.

112

Check your safety and choose the appropriate procedure

Is there immediate danger to you or another person now?

  • Yes
  • No
  • I cannot assess this

Do you also need to report threats, assaults or other criminal acts?

  • Yes
  • No
  • I do not know

What do you want to do?

  • Ask for acts of discrimination to be investigated
  • Supplement an existing case file
  • Find out how my petition is progressing
  • Challenge the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD)
  • Ask the court for damages or to remedy the situation created by discrimination
  • Request information of public interest
  • Consult my own case file

Have you received a dismissal decision, an act imposing a sanction or another act for which there may be a separate time limit for a challenge?

  • Yes
  • No
  • I do not know
  • Get to safety and call 112 if there is immediate danger. Do not fill in the report or collect evidence instead of requesting assistance.
  • Move away from the danger and seek the help you need. In an emergency, call 112. Continue only when you can do so without delaying assistance.
  • Threats, assaults and other criminal acts may require a separate procedure with the police or prosecutor’s office. Seek medical care if needed. The discrimination report does not replace a criminal complaint; you can continue filling in the report on this page after taking immediate safety measures.
  • Prepare your response to the request received. Check the date on which the request was served and the 15-day time limit for providing additional information or submitting the copies requested. For new requests, the separate deadline is the first hearing.
  • Ask in writing for information about the progress of your petition, giving the petition number and date and the case file number. If the decision has been adopted, ask for it to be served on you. The 90 days for adoption and the 30 days for service are statutory time limits which are not mandatory and may vary; do not wait if you have another time limit to meet.
  • Check the 15-day time limit from service of the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) immediately. You must challenge it before the competent administrative court, not by submitting an identical new petition.
  • An independent action for damages and to remedy the situation created by discrimination does not depend on first submitting a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). The time limit for bringing the action is three years from the date of the act or the date on which you could have become aware that it had occurred, under Article 27 of Government Ordinance No. 137/2000. The court with jurisdiction and the specific claims depend on your situation.
  • Open the Freies Europa Weltanschauung Foundation (FEW) guide to accessing information of public interest under Law No. 544/2001. An information request does not replace a discrimination report or extend its time limits.
  • The official website of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) states that you need to submit a request in advance and make an appointment by telephone to consult your own case file. Ask for instructions on identification and representation. Do not confuse this request with a general request for public information.
  • You can prepare the discrimination report, but also check immediately how to challenge the act you have received. Do not assume that submitting a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) extends the time limit for challenging a dismissal decision, an act imposing a sanction or another act.
  • Continue by describing the facts and preparing the signed petition. The absence of a ground of discrimination does not automatically rule out psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work. If you cannot obtain all the details of the person complained about, explain the situation.
Read the guide to Law No. 544/2001

112 emergency service

Emergency telephone number. Do not use it as a registry for a petition submitted under Government Ordinance No. 27/2002.

112

The single emergency telephone number available in Romania. It is not intended for submitting an administrative petition.

Tell the operator the location, landmarks and nature of the emergency, and answer their questions. Do not fill in the petition form first.

Who is responsible for what

Here you can find contact details for local or county institutions and, where applicable, for a national institution marked ‘National alternative’. Use the explanations in the guide to choose the right recipient for your problem. You send the report; the Foundation does not send anything on your behalf.

Address the report, supplements and requests about the case file to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). The institution’s remit covers the whole country. The person or institution complained about is identified in the petition; they do not automatically become a separate recipient of your letter.

  • National Council for Combating Discrimination

To challenge the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), identify the competent administrative court and meet the 15-day time limit from service. If you bring the claim as a natural person, apply to the court of appeal for the area where you are domiciled. A new petition to the Council does not replace court proceedings.

  • Court of Appeal – administrative and tax litigation division

You can ask a court for damages and to remedy the situation created by discrimination without first submitting a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). Identify the court by the subject of the claim and the nature of the legal relationship. The 3-year time limit does not replace special time limits for challenging other acts.

  • Court with jurisdiction over the discrimination claim

National Council for Combating Discrimination

Check the competent institution’s contact details on its official page.

Use the submission form or official email address of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). The institution’s remit covers the whole country.

Rapid response

  • If there is immediate danger, get to safety and call 112. Reporting discrimination and collecting evidence must not delay assistance.
  • Keep messages and documents that you lawfully hold in a safe place and record the facts in chronological order. Do not access other people’s accounts or put yourself at risk to obtain evidence.
  • If you have received a dismissal decision, an act imposing a sanction or another act, check the applicable time limit for a challenge immediately. Do not wait for the response to your discrimination report.
  • You can ask for information about submitting petitions and about case files by calling 0213126578 or 0213126579, extension 206, Monday–Thursday, 11:00–13:00.
  • If you have visual or mobility impairments, ask to use the assisted procedure under Article 9(5) of the Internal procedure for handling petitions and reports, approved by Order No. 27/2024 of the President of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). A designated adviser may draw up a written note, including by telephone, subject to the legal formalities; an ordinary telephone call does not automatically become a petition.

The written document

  • You can submit a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) about acts by individuals, public institutions, employers or companies if the situation falls within the scope of Government Ordinance No. 137/2000.
  • Describe the facts and specify when and in what place or setting the acts occurred, who was involved and what effects they had. For differential treatment or a rule with a disadvantageous effect, explain the link with the ground relied on. The list of grounds of discrimination is not exhaustive.
  • For psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work, describe the conduct, its connection with work and its effects on working conditions, dignity, health or professional prospects. You do not need to rely on a ground of discrimination or prove an intention to cause harm.
  • If you have experienced unfavourable treatment in response to a complaint or court action concerning equal treatment, also describe these acts. The law prohibits victimisation, but this does not eliminate all practical risks.
  • Submit the report within one year of the act or the date on which you could have become aware of it. Explain why the time when you became aware of it differs from the date of the act, where applicable. For repeated or continuing acts, describe all relevant dates.
  • Fill in your details, domicile or residence, correspondence address and the details you know of the person complained about. If you do not have and cannot obtain some of that person’s details, explain the situation and provide information that may help identify them.
  • Present facts and evidence from which discrimination may be presumed. The legal rule then applies that the person complained about must prove that they have not breached the principle of equal treatment. This rule does not mean that you can omit the description of the facts and evidence.
  • Sign the petition. To submit it through the official form, prepare the petition with a handwritten signature (signed by hand) and a copy of a valid identity document, in accordance with the page instructions. Send the documents directly to the institution.
  • You can use the official email address or submission form. For submission on paper, prepare copies for the persons complained about and one copy for the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), in accordance with the official instructions. The head office is at Piața Valter Mărăcineanu nr. 1–3, sector 1, 010155 București.
  • The petition is not anonymous, and the person complained about receives a copy so that they can respond. Hearings are not public. Include only the sensitive data needed and discuss this with the institution if you need special measures to keep correspondence safe.
  • If you receive a request to supplement the petition, respond within 15 days of service. There is a separate 15-day time limit if you are asked for additional copies. New requests may be added up to the first hearing; this deadline is not replaced by the time limit for providing additional information.
  • The law provides 90 days for the decision to be adopted and 30 days from adoption for it to be served. Under the Internal procedure for handling petitions and reports, approved by Order No. 27/2024 of the President of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), these time limits are not mandatory and may vary. Exceeding them does not mean that the report is upheld. Do not wait if you have other time limits to meet.
  • Ask for the facts to be investigated and for measures within the remit of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) to be taken. A fine is not compensation paid to the victim. For psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work, the Council may, under the law, order measures to stop the acts and payment of the amount needed for psychological counselling.
  • For damages and restoration of the situation before the discrimination, you can apply directly to a court without first submitting a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). An action based on Article 27 of Government Ordinance No. 137/2000 has a 3-year time limit and is exempt from judicial stamp duty. The Council must be summoned in the proceedings.
  • The court with jurisdiction over the independent action is determined by the subject and value of the claim and the nature of the legal relationship; special rules may apply to employment disputes. Prepare the parties’ identifying details, your requests, the amount of damages claimed and the justification for them, the grounds and the evidence. Sign the claim.
  • If you want to challenge the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), the time limit is 15 days from service. If you bring the claim as a natural person, identify the court of appeal for the area where you are domiciled and its administrative and tax litigation division. Do not use the ordinary procedure for challenging an official record before a district court.
  • You can act in person in court, under the law. Exemption from judicial stamp duty for the independent action does not exclude other costs. You can apply for legal aid (ajutor public judiciar) if the legal conditions are met. The exemption under Article 27 of Government Ordinance No. 137/2000 does not automatically apply to a claim challenging the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD).
  • For threats, assaults or other criminal acts, follow the appropriate procedure with the police or prosecutor’s office separately. The discrimination report does not replace a criminal complaint.

Prepare the document

Prepare the text. Provide only the necessary details. Check and edit the resulting text.

Do not enter your personal numeric code, the series and number of your identity document, other personal identification codes or numbers, or the IBAN of a bank account here, except in fields where the guide expressly asks for them. If they are required and there is no such field, add these codes or numbers to the copy you will send to the institution. Do not enter passwords or bank card details.

The person complained about receives the petition so that they can respond. Include only the sensitive data needed and ask the institution for guidance if disclosing information could put you at risk.

If you have visual or mobility impairments, you can ask the institution to use the assisted procedure. This involves a designated adviser and the formalities required by law.

First answer the safety questions and identify the responsibilities.

Discrimination – report requesting an investigation of the facts

Petition

For the person who considers that they have been discriminated against or the representative who proves their authority to act. The report must include the petitioner’s name, must be signed and is handled under Government Ordinance No. 137/2000 and the special procedure of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). It does not replace a challenge to an act, a criminal complaint or a claim for damages in court.

Surname and given name of the person who considers that they have been discriminated against
Enter the surname and given name of the person for whom you are making the report.
Domicile or residence
The procedure requires this information. If disclosing the address could create a risk, discuss possible measures with the institution; there is no guarantee that the person complained about will not have access to the address.
Correspondence address
Give an address at which you can safely receive and regularly check correspondence. The official page recommends providing a postal address, not only an email address.
Other contact details
You can give your telephone number and email address. The telephone number is optional under the instructions for completing the petition, but mandatory in the online form.
Representation
If you are making the report on your own behalf, state this. Otherwise, give the representative’s name and capacity and the supporting document; for a lawyer, also give their office address. Attach the evidence.
Person or persons complained about
Give the name and domicile or residence of the person complained about, or the name and registered office of the institution or company complained about, to the extent that you know or can obtain these details. If any details are missing, explain what you know and why you cannot obtain them.
Date or dates of the acts
Give the date of each act or the relevant period. For repeated acts, do not assume that the time limit for all earlier acts starts running again from the date of the last act.
When you could have become aware that the acts had occurred
If the time when you could have become aware that the act had occurred differs from the date of the act, give that time and explain the difference. If it does not differ, state this. The law refers to the time when you could have learned of the act, not only the time when you say you learned of it.
Description of the facts
Describe what happened in chronological order, who acted, in what context and what treatment or rule you are complaining about. Include comparable situations if relevant.
The ground and its connection with the acts, or the elements of psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) or victimisation
Explain why you consider that discrimination has occurred. For psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work, describe the specific elements without giving a ground of discrimination that is not supported by the facts. If you cannot identify the connection between the ground and the treatment you are complaining about, explain this; the institution may ask you for further information.
Consequences of the acts
Describe the specific effects on your access to rights, on your work, dignity or health, or on your circumstances. Include only the sensitive data needed.
Evidence and the facts supported by each item
List the documents, messages and other evidence that you hold lawfully, and identify the witnesses. State which fact each item of evidence supports or what the witnesses can confirm. If you do not have documents, specify what information can be checked and by whom.
Specific requests
Ask for an investigation of the facts and for measures within the institution’s remit to be taken. Damages must be sought from the court; for psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work, there are also special measures concerning cessation of the acts and psychological counselling.
Name of the person signing
The petitioner or the representative who provides proof that they are authorised to act.
Date drafted
Enter the date of the document.
I request an assessment of the differential treatment or the disadvantageous effect of the rule described, in connection with the ground and circumstances specified, under Article 2 of Government Ordinance No. 137/2000.

Action against the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD)

Statement of claim

You can use this template if you submitted a petition in your own name and are asking the court to review the unfavourable outcome given by the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). This version is for a claim that you draw up and sign yourself. The template concerns the Council’s decision. It is not a new administrative report or an independent claim for damages. Do not use it as a template for challenging a penalty imposed on you as the person complained about. If there is also an employer’s decision or another separate act, check the procedure and time limit for challenging that act separately.

Enter your personal details and prepare the annexes only in your own copy of the document. To work without entering personal details on the website, copy the blank template from the page into a document you keep yourself and complete it there, without using the online form. Do not upload identity documents, medical documents, tax documents or other evidence to the website. Give your full name, domicile and the address at which you wish to receive documents served by the court. If you choose another person’s address for service, also name the person responsible for receiving the documents. If you live abroad, also give your elected domicile (domiciliu ales) in Romania for service of documents in the proceedings, under Article 194(a) of the Code of Civil Procedure. The address chosen for service does not, on its own, determine which court has jurisdiction. If you are domiciled abroad, check separately which court has jurisdiction before using the template. Enter the identifiers required by law, if they have been assigned to you, and any other known identifying details. Enter your telephone number and email address if you are providing them for communications. For each person or institution you are bringing proceedings against, use the correct name and address. Do not invent details you do not know. If certain information can only be obtained with the court’s assistance, explain what is missing, which documents you have checked and what check you are asking the court to carry out. Describe the facts in order, with the relevant dates. For each ground of challenge, identify the document or other evidence you rely on. If you propose witnesses, give their names and addresses, where known, and the facts about which they can give evidence. If you request an expert assessment (expertiză), specify which matters need to be clarified. Before signing, check all the requests, amounts, dates and annexes. Remove fields that do not apply. Complete all the fields needed for your situation. Do not file the claim with completion instructions left in place of the details or with statements that do not match your situation.

Explain why the outcome in the decision is wrong, not just why you are dissatisfied with the original situation. Identify each provision you challenge and the evidence supporting that ground of challenge. Attach the decision, proof of service, the original petition, the relevant documents from the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) procedure and the other evidence relied on. Attach proof of payment of the duty or documents concerning the exemption or payment relief requested, as applicable. The time limit for challenging the CNCD decision is 15 days from service. When calculating it, do not count the day of service or the day on which the time limit expires. Non-working days within the period are counted; if the last day is a non-working day, the time limit is extended to the next working day. For service by display (afișare) on the CNCD noticeboard, check whether there were two consecutive unsuccessful attempts at service due exclusively to the party’s fault, as well as the date of display and the official record. Under Article 80(2) of the CNCD procedure, service is deemed completed on the 15th day after display. The time limit for challenging the decision is calculated from this service, not from the day you read the decision. If the date of service is unclear or the time limit appears to have expired, ask immediately for your situation to be checked, without entering an assumed date. Do not replace this time limit with six months or three years. Do not wait for the outcome of a new petition to the CNCD. For the request for annulment in this template, the standard duty is 50 lei, unless a specific exemption applies. The court determines the duty payable. The exemption for an independent claim for damages does not automatically extend to this action. File the claim with the court of appeal within whose territorial jurisdiction you are domiciled, in its administrative and tax litigation division (secția de contencios administrativ și fiscal), not with the CNCD.

Date: [Date drafted]
Name of the person signing: [Claimant’s surname and given name]
Signature:

Sign the statement of claim before filing it. For filing on paper, use a handwritten signature. For submission by email, you can send a legible scan of the signed claim to the court’s official address, under Article 199 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or an electronic document drawn up and signed in accordance with the law. A typed name does not replace a signature. If you cannot sign, contact the court to complete the procedure under Article 148(5) of the same code. For filing on paper, prepare one copy for the court and the copies needed for service on the other parties, with the corresponding annexes, under Articles 149–150 of the Code of Civil Procedure. On the paper copies, write ‘Conform cu originalul’ (‘True copy of the original’) and sign. For electronic copies, you can use an electronic signature under Article 150(2). If you attach documents in a foreign language, include a notarised translation by an authorised translator; if there is no authorised translator for that language, check the exception under Article 150(4). Keep the originals. You can file the claim at the court registry or send it by a method permitted by law. Check the official address and the technical requirements. If you send the claim by email, check that the court has received it: proof of filing within the time limit depends on the date and time certified by the court’s computer, not just the time when you pressed the send button. If you use the post, send it by registered letter and keep the receipt. If you use an express courier or a specialised document delivery service, keep proof of handing it over within the time limit, under Article 183 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Do not assume that every contact form serves as a court registry for case filings. Monitor communications from the court and the time limit it gives you to complete or supplement your claim. Exemption from judicial stamp duty does not rule out other costs or the possibility of being ordered to pay the other party’s costs, in accordance with the law. The generator does not sign or file the claim.

Damages and elimination of discrimination in the employment relationship

Statement of claim

You can use this template if you are an employee or former employee and draw up and sign the claim against the employer yourself, in connection with an individual employment contract. The template concerns damages or the elimination of the direct or indirect discrimination you allege: unfavourable treatment linked to a ground of discrimination or an apparently neutral rule that disadvantages you in connection with that ground. You do not need to have first submitted a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). However, the Council must be summoned to the proceedings. The template does not cover challenging a dismissal, a disciplinary penalty or another separate act. Do not use the three-year time limit for a discrimination action instead of the special time limit for that act. Do not use this version for psychological harassment (hărțuire morală), unfavourable treatment in response to reporting discrimination, a public official’s civil service relationship (raport de serviciu), self-employment or recruitment outside an employment relationship. A claim brought against a colleague personally is also not covered by this template. In these situations, check separately which court has jurisdiction, whom to bring proceedings against and which requests are appropriate; the fact that the template does not apply does not mean that you have no rights.

Enter your personal details and prepare the annexes only in your own copy of the document. To work without entering personal details on the website, copy the blank template from the page into a document you keep yourself and complete it there, without using the online form. Do not upload identity documents, medical documents, tax documents or other evidence to the website. Give your full name, domicile and the address at which you wish to receive documents served by the court. If you choose another person’s address for service, also name the person responsible for receiving the documents. If you live abroad, also give your elected domicile (domiciliu ales) in Romania for service of documents in the proceedings, under Article 194(a) of the Code of Civil Procedure. The address chosen for service does not, on its own, determine which court has jurisdiction. If you are domiciled abroad, check separately which court has jurisdiction before using the template. Enter the identifiers required by law, if they have been assigned to you, and any other known identifying details. Enter your telephone number and email address if you are providing them for communications. For each person or institution you are bringing proceedings against, use the correct name and address. Do not invent details you do not know. If certain information can only be obtained with the court’s assistance, explain what is missing, which documents you have checked and what check you are asking the court to carry out. Describe the facts in order, with the relevant dates. For each ground of challenge, identify the document or other evidence you rely on. If you propose witnesses, give their names and addresses, where known, and the facts about which they can give evidence. If you request an expert assessment (expertiză), specify which matters need to be clarified. Before signing, check all the requests, amounts, dates and annexes. Remove fields that do not apply. Complete all the fields needed for your situation. Do not file the claim with completion instructions left in place of the details or with statements that do not match your situation.

The following instructions concern the independent claim for damages and elimination of discrimination in the employment relationship, not an action against a decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). Separate damages for pecuniary loss from damages for non-pecuniary harm. For pecuniary losses, set out each amount and its calculation. For non-pecuniary harm, explain the specific effects and the reasons for the amount sought. Do not request a fine to be paid to you. Choose at least one specific measure: damages, ending a practice or access to a right or benefit on non-discriminatory terms. Do not leave only a request for a finding of discrimination in the claim. For a measure that does not involve payment of money, describe precisely the practice that must be stopped or the access that must be ensured. Do not use general wording to seek, without specifying it, annulment of a dismissal, reinstatement or a change to an act that has its own procedure for challenge. Attach the relevant documents concerning the employment relationship, the acts, communications and consequences, the calculation of pecuniary losses and the other documents relied on. Documents from a National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) case file should only be attached if they exist. Also prepare the copy needed for service on the CNCD. The time limit under Article 27 of Government Ordinance No. 137/2000 is three years from the date of the act or the date on which you could have become aware that it had occurred. Do not convert it into 1,095 days. A petition to the CNCD does not automatically suspend or interrupt the time limit. Check the employment-related act separately. For measures concerning the conclusion, performance, amendment, suspension or termination of the individual employment contract, including payment undertakings, Article 268(1)(a) of the Labour Code provides for 45 calendar days from the date on which you became aware of the measure. For a decision imposing a disciplinary penalty, the special time limit is 30 calendar days from service. A discrimination claim does not replace a challenge to these acts. File the claim with the tribunal with jurisdiction over employment disputes within whose territorial jurisdiction you are domiciled, reside or work, under Article 269 of the Labour Code. The amount of damages does not transfer this dispute to a district court (judecătorie). The claim in this template is exempt from judicial stamp duty, but the proceedings may involve other costs.

Date: [Date drafted]
Name of the person signing: [Claimant’s surname and given name]
Signature:

Sign the statement of claim before filing it. For filing on paper, use a handwritten signature. For submission by email, you can send a legible scan of the signed claim to the court’s official address, under Article 199 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or an electronic document drawn up and signed in accordance with the law. A typed name does not replace a signature. If you cannot sign, contact the court to complete the procedure under Article 148(5) of the same code. For filing on paper, prepare one copy for the court and the copies needed for service on the other parties, with the corresponding annexes, under Articles 149–150 of the Code of Civil Procedure. On the paper copies, write ‘Conform cu originalul’ (‘True copy of the original’) and sign. For electronic copies, you can use an electronic signature under Article 150(2). If you attach documents in a foreign language, include a notarised translation by an authorised translator; if there is no authorised translator for that language, check the exception under Article 150(4). Keep the originals. You can file the claim at the court registry or send it by a method permitted by law. Check the official address and the technical requirements. If you send the claim by email, check that the court has received it: proof of filing within the time limit depends on the date and time certified by the court’s computer, not just the time when you pressed the send button. If you use the post, send it by registered letter and keep the receipt. If you use an express courier or a specialised document delivery service, keep proof of handing it over within the time limit, under Article 183 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Do not assume that every contact form serves as a court registry for case filings. Monitor communications from the court and the time limit it gives you to complete or supplement your claim. Exemption from judicial stamp duty does not rule out other costs or the possibility of being ordered to pay the other party’s costs, in accordance with the law. The generator does not sign or file the claim.

Evidence and photographs

  • A chronology of the facts, with dates, places and the people involved.
  • Documents, refusals, rules, notices, selection criteria and messages that you hold lawfully.
  • An explanation of the connection between the ground relied on and the treatment, if relevant to the form of discrimination described.
  • Information on comparable situations, where a comparison is relevant; you do not have to identify a specific person in a comparable situation in every case.
  • For psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work: a description of the conduct, its frequency, context and effects, supported by the available documents.
  • For victimisation: the earlier report or court action and the subsequent acts showing unfavourable treatment in response to that step.
  • Information about witnesses and what they can confirm, without publishing their personal data.
  • Recordings that you hold lawfully and that are relevant, while respecting the rights of the people concerned; the official page of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) also requires transcripts of any audio or video recordings submitted.
  • A description of the specific consequences and supporting documents, including for any damages sought from the court.
  • The signed petition, the annexes actually sent, proof of submission and subsequent communications.

Keep the originals in a safe place. Send only relevant images with your report. For publication, create copies with unnecessary data and identifying features removed.

A copy from which you have removed the photograph’s technical data, such as the date and location recorded by the device, does not replace the original. Nor do these data, taken alone, provide conclusive proof of when or where the photograph was taken.

Include faces, vehicle registration numbers and witnesses’ identities only when they are relevant to the recipient and the purpose of sending the material. Publication on a website serves a different purpose from private submission to an authority.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Presenting any unfair treatment as discrimination that has already been proved.
  • Giving a ground or details of the person complained about that are not true.
  • Giving up on reporting psychological harassment (hărțuire morală) at work just because you cannot identify a ground of discrimination.
  • Assuming that the lack of a complete address for the person complained about always prevents submission.
  • Sending an unsigned petition or assuming that a typed name is always sufficient.
  • Confusing a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) with a petition subject to the general 30-day time limit under Government Ordinance No. 27/2002.
  • Confusing a fine with compensation for the victim.
  • Waiting for the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) until the time limit for challenging a dismissal decision or another act expires.
  • Confusing the 15 days for challenging the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) with the 3 years for an independent court action concerning discrimination.
  • Assuming that the petition and your identity will be kept hidden from the person complained about.
  • Applying the exception under Government Ordinance No. 27/2002 for certain anonymous reports of harassment to proceedings before the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), where petitions must include the petitioner’s name and signature.
  • Publishing medical documents, identity documents or intimate information to prove the facts.

Time limits for your submission

Submitting a report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD)

1 year

The date on which the act occurred or the date on which the person could have become aware that it had occurred.

Articles 2.551, 2.552 and 2.554 of the Civil Code: the time limit expires on the corresponding date in the following year; if there is no such date, on the last day of the month; the extension for a non-working day applies.

Do not calculate the time limit as a period of 365 days. If the date when you could have become aware that the act had occurred differs from the date of the act, explain the difference; the calculator does not automatically choose the date most favourable to you. Repeated or continuing acts must be assessed in each case. If the time limit appears to have expired, do not assume that you no longer have any legal remedy.

Supplementing the petition details

15 calendar days

Service of the request to supplement the petition.

Articles 2.551, 2.553 and 2.554 of the Civil Code: the day of service and the day on which the time limit expires are excluded; if the last day is a non-working day, the time limit is extended to the next working day.

Failure to respond to the request to supplement the petition may lead to the petition being closed without further action under the procedure. If you cannot obtain some details of the person complained about, the exception provided for in the procedure applies, and the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) carries out the checks specified in it. You can add new requests up to the first hearing; this limit is not expressed as a fixed number of days.

Submitting the additional copies requested

15 calendar days

Notification to submit a sufficient number of copies.

Articles 2.551, 2.553 and 2.554 of the Civil Code.

This is the time limit under Article 73 of the Internal procedure for handling petitions and reports, approved by Order No. 27/2024 of the President of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). If you do not submit the copies requested, the proceedings are suspended until the required number of copies has been submitted. Do not confuse this time limit with the one for challenging the decision.

Statutory time limit for adopting the decision

90 calendar days

Submission of the report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), according to the date established from the proof of submission and registration.

Articles 2.551, 2.553 and 2.554 of the Civil Code.

The time limit is not mandatory and may vary, under Article 80(3) of the Internal procedure for handling petitions and reports, approved by Order No. 27/2024 of the President of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). Use it as a reference for following the progress of the case file. Exceeding it does not mean that the petition is granted, that the decision is automatically null and void or that the institution no longer has authority to deal with the case.

Statutory time limit for serving the decision

30 calendar days

Adoption of the decision.

Articles 2.551, 2.553 and 2.554 of the Civil Code.

The time limit is not mandatory and may vary, under Article 80(3) of the Internal procedure for handling petitions and reports, approved by Order No. 27/2024 of the President of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). If you do not know when the decision was adopted, the calculator cannot calculate when the time limit for service expires. Do not confuse this time limit with the general time limit for responding to petitions under Government Ordinance No. 27/2002.

Challenging a decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) in court

15 calendar days

Service of the decision of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD).

Article 181(1), point 2, and paragraph (2), Article 182 and Article 183 of the Code of Civil Procedure: the day of service and the day on which the time limit expires are excluded; the extension for a non-working day and the rules on the method and proof of submission apply.

Do not confuse this time limit with the 6-month time limit applicable under the general rules of administrative litigation or the 3-year time limit for an independent court action concerning discrimination. If the decision was served by display (afișare), check the legal date of service using the information in the case file; do not assume that the time limit only starts running when you actually read the decision.

Independent court action concerning discrimination

3 years

The date of the act or the date on which the person concerned could have become aware that it had occurred.

Articles 2.551, 2.552 and 2.554 of the Civil Code; Articles 181–183 of the Code of Civil Procedure must be taken into account when submitting the document to the court.

Do not calculate the time limit as a period of 1.095 (one thousand and ninety-five) days. A prior report to the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) is not mandatory. Do not assume that simply submitting a petition suspends or interrupts the time limit. This time limit does not replace the special time limits for challenging a dismissal decision, an act imposing a sanction or other acts.

Forwarding a petition sent to the wrong institution

5 calendar days

Registration with the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD) of a petition sent to the wrong institution.

Articles 2.551, 2.553 and 2.554 of the Civil Code.

The legal basis is Article 23 of the Internal procedure for handling petitions and reports, approved by Order No. 27/2024 of the President of the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD). This rule does not make the general time limits under Government Ordinance No. 27/2002 applicable to discrimination reports and does not guarantee that you will remain within the special time limits for other steps.

Next steps

  • Keep proof of submission and request the registration number and date and the case file number.
  • Respond to requests to supplement the petition and report any change to your correspondence address.
  • If you cannot obtain some details of the person complained about, explain precisely what is missing, what information you have and why you cannot obtain the missing details.
  • Keep track of notices to attend and the dates and time limits in the case file. Before the first hearing, check that you have made all the requests you want to add.
  • If the time limit for handling the petition has passed, ask in writing about the progress of the petition, identifying the petition and the case file. If the decision has been adopted, ask for it to be served on you.
  • After receiving the decision, keep proof of service and immediately check the 15-day time limit for challenging it.
  • Separately consider the action for damages and the time limits for challenging any other act you have received.
  • If there are reprisals or other acts, record them and seek help in choosing the appropriate action without putting yourself at risk. Safety takes priority in the event of immediate danger.
