Question referred

On a proper construction of Article 4(3) TEU and Articles 20, 21 and 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, do those provisions preclude legislation such as Article 16 of the [Romanian] Constitution and Article 30 of Government Emergency Order No 80/2103, which enshrines the principle of equality before the law only as between citizens as natural persons and not between citizens as natural persons and legal persons governed by public law, and which, a priori, exempts legal persons governed by public law from the requirement to pay stamping fees and to lodge a security in order to gain access to justice, whilst making access to justice by natural persons conditional upon payment of stamping fees/the lodging of a security?
