Employers’ Confederation from Industry, Agriculture, Construction and Services from Romania (CONPIROM)
Represents us in all state structures and social dialogue, fostering the development of the correct legislation that supports a competitive and prosperous industry and the good running of society.
It is constituted, according to the Social Dialogue Law no. 62/2011, on the criterion of activity sectors or territorial and is formed from associative structures, organizations and employers’ federations. At present, it has 22 affiliated Employers’ Federations and Associations, representing at least 7% of the number of employees in the national economy and territorial structures in 25 counties, which represents more than half plus one of the counties of Romania.
This promotes and defends the economic, technical, legal, and social interests – general and common to its members. It advocates for the respect of legislation, the promotion of professional ethics, and the norms of fair competition both in the activity and in the relations between its members, as well as in relations with other economic agents, with state administration bodies and other structures of civil society.
The Confederation actively participates in all structures and at all levels of social dialogue and supports – with the experience, knowledge, and information of its members – the elaboration of decisions and normative acts that interest the activity and the good progress of economic agents, industry, economy, and society in general.

The motor of the Oil and Gas Employers’ Federation’s activity consists in consolidating a unitary position in relation to the implementation of the best practices in the field it represents – energy, oil, gas and energy mining.

The Federation acts as a spokesperson for the energy sector, being an active partner in the social dialogue, both at national and at sector level. Through the permanent analysis and debate of the regulations regarding the field of activity, we aim at supporting and efficiently representing the freely expressed interests by the energy industry representatives.
