Legal implementation note — Romania / EU
In Romania, sponsorship requires a written contract stating subject, value, term and obligations. Acknowledging a sponsor’s name / mark is distinct from commercial advertising. Suggested advertising packages and commercial benefits must not be promised as sponsorship obligations without checking their legal classification. Do not guarantee tax relief, exclusivity, audiences or unconfirmed partners. Any advertising service requires separate assessment and contracting under its own rules. Example figures are illustrative.
