In this study, the author examines the relevant aspects for proper understanding of the regulations set out in a chapter of the new Romanian Criminal Code (Law no. 286/2009, as subsequently amended and supplemented) entitled “State border crimes”. It was noted that such a chapter has no counterpart in the Criminal Code regulations, which entered into force in 1969; this does not mean it is an absolute novelty in the Romanian legal landscape. The study makes an interesting comparison between the wordings included in the subdivision of the new Criminal Code and the ones in Government Emergency Ordinance no. 105/2001 and Government Emergency Ordinance no. 194/2002 which have served as inspiration for the legislator.

In this study, the author provides a critical analysis of the content of art. 2322 of the Civil Code that has entered into force on 1 October 2011, regulating for the first time, in terms of legislation, autonomous guarantee instrument of the letter of comfort. Given the lack of doctrinal explanations and of the Romanian jurisprudence in this regard, the author makes a comparative law analysis regarding the use of this instrument, employing as reference points the Common Law systems and Continental Law systems based on the existence of a Civil Code. This instrument is known since the early 1960s by the international transactions practice, but the corresponding case law is quite limited and in some legislation, although frequently used, letters of comfort are not subject to an expressis verbis legislative regulation. The author emphasizes the Romanian Civil Code modern nature together with the call for a consistent use, in practice, of this legal institution.
