Communications with the Embassy of Romania regarding the attachments

In a cross-border case, the affected party's diligence is also measured by the channels he activated. This annex documents the diplomatic one.

The communication and its traceability

• Recipient: Embassy of Romania in Madrid (Av. Alfonso XIII, 157).
• Medium: email of 22 April 2017, at 12:37 — date, time and content preserved.
• Request: that the competent Romanian authorities be alerted to the situation and that the urgent lifting of the expropriation steps derived from the Spanish requirements be sought (A.41).

The precondition the alert activated

The mutual assistance of Directive 2010/24/EU rests on trust between administrations — and trust presupposes the possibility of warning when the enforced title is defective. With this communication, the enforcing State was in a position to ask the requesting State about the regularity of a file that already accumulated, documented, the limitation of the tax year (A.40), the calculation without costs (A.41, A.49) and the lack of a hearing (A.42).

What is on record afterwards

The expropriations continued to consummation. No material response to the communication or verification action between administrations is on record. The automatism of collection prevailed over the documented warning.

How to verify it

The email is on record with its date and time; the later expropriations, with theirs. Order both sets on a timeline: the alert precedes the harm. That precedence is the annex.
