Romania
Answer ... A Romanian court shall refer parties to arbitration only if one of the parties makes such request, by invoking the arbitration agreement.
Romania
Answer ... Yes, regular courts in the Romanian jurisdiction may intervene in case there are obstacles in the way of organizing the arbitration (ie. for solving preliminary issues). The courts may also solve requests regarding:
- the appointment of arbitrators if the parties don't agree on the matter;
- the challenge of an arbitrator;
- certain measures in case that public authorities refuse to deliver the information requested;
- the verification of arbitral costs.
These powers can be exercised by means of an emergency injunction, without the possibility to appeal the decision.

Answer ... Although there are no such specific provisions, considering that the regular courts may intervene only at the request of one of the parties, it is reasonable to conclude that the parties can also exclude the court's power by agreement.
