In addition, Government approved deputy directors of the governmental agencies, namely: Nicolae Gumenii of the Customs Department; Andrei Ivancov of the Center for Fighting Economic Crime and Corruption; Adrian Fetescu of the Licensing Chamber; Stefan Crigan of the Cadastre Agency, and Anatol Gorila of the Border Service.

Resolutions

On May 6, Government approved the Resolution of the Council of CIS Heads of State and Government on Conception on Cooperation and Coordination on foreign currency, signed on September 15, 2004 at Astana. Moldovan Government endorsed the document with one reserve: “As part of this Conception, Republic of Moldova will take part exclusively in the establishment of a system for analyzing the current state and of the CIS financial markets, as well as in the development of a single CIS database”.
Similarly, Government approved the Agreement on reciprocal recognition and validation of graduation certificates in the secondary, professional and specialized education.
To ensure a better representation of the Government in Parliament, this responsibility was delegated to the Ministry of Justice, specifically Deputy Minister Nicolae Esanu. He would be entrusted to ensure the liaison between Government and Parliament, to coordinate lobbying of draft laws and resolutions submitted by the executive to the legislators.
Government approved a draft law on ratifying Protocol no. 14 to the Covenant on human rights and freedoms that amends the control system over Covenant.
On May 18, Government ruled for the liquidation of the Russian governmental daily Nezavisimaia Moldova. Noteworthy, that was one of the conditions set forth by Iurie Rosca for voting in favor of Voronin. Media watchers say there was a more or less overt link between the shut down of the newspaper and the shut down of the Info-prim agency, voted by Communist and Christian-Democrats councilors in Chisinau Municipal Council. To put it differently, the price paid for the liquidation of the governmental newspaper was the fate of municipal press agency. This is a quite reasonable deal, since neither of them paid from their own pocket.
According to Iurii Tiscenco, Editor in Chief of Nezavisimaia Moldova, the newspaper would be published two more months, afterwards the newspaper “will seize to be governmental. We are now seeking funds, and we have already found someone willing to pay”.
