## Why Romania

Romania is the only EU jurisdiction where the constitutional court struck down mandatory data retention twice, in 2009 and again in 2014, and refused the replacement bill. It combines that precedent with EU-grade connectivity and the lowest cost per core in our EU footprint.

**Trade-off:** EU membership means EU instruments — European Investigation Orders reach Bucharest. What Romania gives you is a constitutional court that has twice refused to let the state retain communications data, plus very good price-per-core.

## Legal basis

| Claim | Instrument | Year |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Data-retention law struck down as unconstitutional — twice | Constitutional Court Decision 1258/2009 and Decision 440/2014 | 2014 |
| Follow-up retention bill also declared unconstitutional | Constitutional Court Decision 461/2014 on Law 82/2012 replacement | 2014 |
| Hosting liability exemption under the DSA regime | EU Digital Services Act (Reg. 2022/2065), Art. 6 | 2024 |
| Not a member of any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier | No documented SIGINT Seniors participation | 2024 |
