 The transformation parameters between S42 and WGS84 datums wihch are
 listed inside the EPSG:3844 definition
 (TOWGS84[33.4,-146.6,-76.3,-0.359,-0.053,0.844,-0.84]) are valid for
 Poland, not for Romania. You can see this in the EPSG database: Coordinate

 are listed in the EPSG database with coordinate transformation code =
 15995. These are:
