Do transport licences transfer with the company shares?

In a share deal the company keeps its licences, subject to change-notification duties; in an asset deal licences generally do not transfer and must be obtained by the buyer.

How are documents from Poland accepted in Romania?

In Poland the apostille is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MSZ), after any required prior certification of the document. The document is then translated into Romanian by an authorised translator before it is filed in Romania.

Can due diligence be done remotely?

Largely yes. Romanian public registers (Trade Register, land book, insolvency bulletin) are accessible online, and most document review happens in a virtual data room. Site visits and management interviews are arranged when the deal justifies them.

EU framework that applies

EU screening under OUG 46/2022 targets non-EU investors, but Romanian national rules on investments in security-relevant sectors should still be checked for the target; merger control under Legea 21/1996 applies above the thresholds.

Documents and cross-border formalities

Polish KRS extracts and resolutions are apostilled and translated into Romanian by an authorised translator. In Poland the apostille is issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MSZ), after any required prior certification of the document. Court documents are served between EU Member States under Regulation (EU) 2020/1784.

People and staff

EU citizens can live and work in Romania without a work permit; posted workers keep home social security with an A1 certificate under Regulation (EC) No 883/2004.

What an M&A mandate covers

From the first letter of intent to post-closing filings, a Romanian acquisition involves corporate, real-estate, employment, competition and — for some investors — foreign-investment screening work streams.
