The first Boc Cabinet of the Government of Romania was composed of 20 ministers, listed below. It was sworn in on 22 December 2008, the same day it received the vote of confidence from the Parliament of Romania. It was a grand coalition government, formed by the PD-L and the PSD. The Cabinet could have faced a Constitutional issue, by using the term "Deputy Prime Minister", instead of the one used in the previous cabinets "Minister of State".
Following the resignation of Liviu Dragnea (PSD) from the office of Minister of Administration and Interior, on February 2, 2009, the Parliament voted to unify the post of Deputy Prime Minister with the post of Minister of Administration and Interior.
On October 1, 2009 , following the removal from office of the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Administration and Interior, Dan Nica (PSD), all the PSD Ministers resigned from the cabinet. As a result all their offices were taken, ad interim by the PD-L, for a period no longer than 45 days. The cabinet should have received a new vote from the Parliament, as its political composition was changed. On 13 October 2009 the Parliament voted for a motion of no confidence. As a result this Cabinet was just an acting Cabinet. Its term ended on 23 December 2009, when the new cabinet, headed also by Emil Boc received the vote of confidence from the Parliament and was sworn in at Cotroceni Palace. During the interim period, Traian Băsescu nominated repeatedly friendly candidates, despite the fact that the then opposition parties (PNL, PSD, UDMR, and the 18 representatives of the national ethnic minoritires), having an absolute majority in both Houses of Parliament, expressed their will to nominate the Mayor of Sibiu Klaus Iohannis as Prime Minister.

After PSD left the coalition (and the Government), the media and public opinion nicknamed the resulting (shrunken) Cabinet the Boc II Cabinet.
The Croitoru-proposed Cabinet was Lucian Croitoru's proposal for the Cabinet of the Government of Romania, composed of 14 ministers, listed below. It was proposed on 23 October 2009, and was rejected by the Parliament of Romania on 4 November 2009.
On 15 October 2009, President Traian Băsescu, citing the need for an individual well-versed in economic policy to steer Romania through the ongoing crisis,[1] nominated the politically independent Lucian Croitoru as Prime Minister in place of Emil Boc, whose cabinet fell after losing a motion of no confidence two days earlier.[2][3][4] The nomination was backed by the Democratic Liberal Party, which is supporting Băsescu in the upcoming presidential election,[5][6] but drew criticism from the rest of the parties represented in the Romanian Parliament (the Social Democratic Party, the National Liberal Party, the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania and the Parliamentary group of ethnic minorities), which backed Sibiu Mayor Klaus Iohannis for the position,[7][8] and vowed to challenge Croitoru's nomination at the Constitutional Court or derail it in Parliament.[9][10] In a meeting with Croitoru on October 20, the four Parliamentary groups told Croitoru they would not vote for a cabinet headed by him, and asked him to refuse the nomination as Prime Minister.[11][12]
On October 23, Croitoru announced his proposed Cabinet, which included 14 ministers, down from 18 in Emil Boc Cabinet. There were 7 holdovers, and 7 new names (in addition to Croitoru).[13][14][15][16]
The Ministry of Youth and Sport will be merged with the Ministry of Education and Research and Innovation, the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, Commerce and Business Environment which will be merged with the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Tourism which will be merged with the Ministry of Regional Development. Five current ministerial posts (of Youth and Sport, Small and Medium Enterprise, Tourism, Communications, and Relations with Parliament), as well as the post of Deputy Prime Minister would be cancelled.
Following the rejection by Parliament of the Croitoru Cabinet, President Băsescu nominated sector 3 Mayor Liviu Negoiţă to form a new Government. Due to the fact that the Cabinet structure was identical to, and that most of the ministers where the same as the ones of the Boc I Cabinet, this proposed Cabinet was nicknamed by the media and analysts The Boc III Cabinet without Boc. This cabinet never received a vote from Parliament, and Negoiţă renounced to the mandate days after the run-off of the presidential election.

Previous | Boc I |
On 23 December 2009 the new Boc Cabinet received, by a narrow margin, the vote of confidence of the Parliament, and was sworn in at Cotroceni later that day. The Government formed was a coalition government between the Democratic Liberal Party and the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania. It also received the (traditional) vote of the national minorities group in the Chamber of Deputies and of the two controversial groups of independents in both houses (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) of Parliament.
On 3 September 2010, Emil Boc announced a Cabinet reshuffle, replacing six Ministers. Due to the way the reshuffle was implemented, after two days of meetings and discussions, the media continued the numbering of the reshuffled Cabinet as Boc V, Boc 5.0 or Boc Vista, with reference to the possibility of a future Boc VII cabinet, and the Microsoft operating sistem.
The members of the cabinet are listed below.
