These certifications confirm the importance we give to providing quality and transparency with our activities through clear rules and procedures."
Raluca Haliț, Head of Europe Institutional Relations at RINA Services, declared, "An ambitious and significant goal, the result of a complex verification process conducted by a group of RINA auditors, involving the whole CNI organization, on a topic of increasing relevance and public sensitivity in Romania. Congratulations on your involvement in the certification process. You have a well-prepared team with which we worked efficiently. It was a pleasure for RINA to collaborate".
