Thibault,

I'm not sure exactly what version of PROJ.4 you are using, but after my
"datum shift identification upgrade" the EPSG dictionary for proj now
has this as the suggested definition of 31700:


+proj=sterea +lat_0=46 +lon_0=25 +k=0.99975 +x_0=500000 +y_0=500000 
+ellps=krass +towgs84=28,-121,-77,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

Perhaps you could try with this?

Best regards,
