CRC/C/ROM/CO/4 page 2 (c) The adoption in 2005 of a National Action Plan for child protection; (d) The entry into force of Law No. 288/2007 modifying the Family Code, setting at 18 years old the legal age of marriage for both boys and girls; (e) The setting up of other relevant agencies among which the Romanian Office for Adoptions, the National Agency for the Protection of the Family, the National Agency for the Roma, the National Agency for the Prevention of Human Trafficking. 4. The Committee notes with appreciation that since consideration of the second report of Romania in 2003 (CRC/C/65/Add.19), the State party has ratified or acceded to, inter alia: (a) The Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, on 19 July 2006; (b) The 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons in January 2006; (c) The 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness in January 2006. C. Main areas of concern and recommendations 1. General measures of implementation (arts. 4, 42 and 44, para. 6 of the Convention) Committee’s previous recommendations 5. The Committee, while welcoming the efforts made by State party to implement the Committee’s concluding observations on its previous report (CRC/C/15/Add.199), notes with regret that some of the recommendations contained therein have not been fully implemented, in particular, those related to: discrimination against children belonging to the Roma minority, the creation of an independent body for the promotion and monitoring of the implementation of the Convention, the strengthening of the Child Monitoring and Tracking Information System (CMTIS), as well as ensuring sufficient resource allocation, especially for disadvantaged counties and communities, with regard to decentralization in the provision of social services. 6. The Committee urges the State party to take all necessary measures to address those recommendations from the concluding observations on the previous report that have not yet - or not sufficiently - been implemented. In this context, the Committee draws the attention of the State party to general comment No.5 (2003) on general measures of implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Legislation 7. The Committee appreciates the efforts made by State party to harmonize its national legislation with the Convention, particularly with the adoption of the legal package in 2005 and Law No. 288 modifying and completing the Family Code in 2007. While the Committee welcomes the direct reference to the Convention in Law No. 272/2004, it notes that courts do not refer to the Convention when reviewing cases concerning children. However, the Committee remains concerned about the implementation of existing legislation, in particular with regard to discrepancies between the increased responsibilities of newly created state and public agencies in the context of decentralization and the resources made available for their exercise.
