Reshuffles

On October 8, Government recalled Nicolae Tabacaru from his position as Republic of Moldova Ambassador to Germany. It also revoked the membership of the incumbent Minister of Education, Valentin Beniuc, in the Observers’ Council of the “Teleradio-Moldova” public audiovisual institution and replaced him with the Dean of the Slavonic University, Victor Costetchi. On the same day, the Government appointed Iulian Magaleas, former Chair of the “Teleradio-Moldova” public audiovisual institution, to the position of Republic of Moldova Ambassador to Greece.

Decisions

Government approved the draft budget of state social insurance for year 2004. The draft provides for a 2,467,831,000 MDL deficit free budget. The budget is made up of obligatory social security contributions, interests and transfers from the state budget. It shall be allocated as follows: 2,125,000,000 MDL for pensions and indemnities; 8,700,000 MDL for families with kids; 3,200,000 MDL for workmen compensation insurance; 43,000,000 MDL for the unemployment compensation fund; 135,342,000 MDL for the social insurance of the employees, etc. Noteworthy, for the first time ever Moldovan citizens legally employed abroad would be able to pay the state social insurance, an annual tax of 705 MDL.

Another draft law approved by the Government refers to the statute of the Chisinau Municipality. The draft regulates organization and functioning of the local public administration in Chisinau, provides for the principles of cooperation between the central and local government. Moreover, the draft awards a string of additional prerogatives to the Municipal Council. For the first time ever, Municipal Council will be entitled to select in an open competition the secretary, chiefs of departments, as well as to appoint and oust at the recommendation of the Mayor any chief of the municipal companies. The incumbent Mayor has refrained so far from commenting the draft.

On the social front, Government approved a Regulation on estimation and payment of special merit state allocations. The Regulation entitles around 22,000 citizens of the country to a monthly allocation worth 25 and 50 lei. The beneficiaries include citizens awarded state distinctions of the Republic of Moldova or a URSS equivalent. The cost of the initiative is estimated at 19 million per year.

Government approved a draft on modifying the Law on Inspection before Expedition thereby postponing to a latter date its enforcement. It is believed the move comes in response to IMF’s decision to suspend disbursement of financial aid to Moldova.

Via another of its decisions the Government endorsed the liquidation of the “Teleradio-Moldova” Company. Now it is for the Parliament to decide on the terms of the company reorganization into a public institution.
