The Government approved the structure and staffs of several ministries and other central public institutions in the period concerned, including: the Finance Ministry, Economics and Trade Ministry; Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure; Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry; Ministry of Transportation and Road Management; Interior Ministry; Reintegration Ministry; Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources; Ministry of Health and Social Protection; Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport; Ministry of Culture and Tourism; Customs Service; Bureau for Interethnic Relations; Agri-Industrial Agency MoldovaVin; Agency for Material Reserves, Public Acquisitions and Humanitarian Aid; Agency for Land Relations and Cadastre; National Bureau for Statistics; National Bureau for Migration; Agency for Forestry Moldsilva; and Agency for Regional Development.
The Government approved functioning regulations for the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, Ministry of Transportation and Road Management, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, and the Customs Service.
The newly-created Agency for Regional Development arouses a special interest. Under a governmental decision, the structure of the central administration of this agency includes:
Administration of Agency;
General directorate for regional development;
General directorate for constructions and town planning;
Town planning directorate;
Construction directorate;
Public development directorate;
Directorate for international relations and investment programs;
Administrative directorate.
The agency will coordinate the State Inspection for Constructions and the National Housing Service, while the personnel of its central administration will count for maximum 43 employees.
In the context of measures for reformation of the executive power, the cabinet of ministers ordered the creation of the Agency for Regulations — a single central public authority for regulation of natural monopolies. Under a governmental motion, several central public authorities were told to present draft laws on Agency for Regulations and its draft functioning regulation by June 24.
The wide public opinion did not observe amendments to the April 22, 2004 governmental decision # 412 “on approval of normative documents on establishing and payment of pensions to public functionaries.” Under amendments, a new annex was attached to this decision, but its text seems to be at least strange under the current conditions. It calls for inclusion of periods of activity in a number of offices held by ruling bodies of the former Communist Party of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR) in the due payment length in public service.
Thus, the periods of activity as: “first secretary, second secretary, secretary, chief and deputy chief of section, deputy chief of section — chief of the cabinet of political illumination, deputy chief of section — chief of sector, chief of party record sector, chief of sector, chairman of party commission, instructor, adviser and lecturer,” within: the Central Committee, city and district committees of the Communist Party of MSSR, were included in this fee payment length.
In addition, the periods of activity as: “chief of house — deputy chief of propaganda and advertising section, deputy chief of house and adviser” within the “political illumination house” of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of MSSR, were included in the due payment length in public service. Anyway, the favoring of persons who held ruling offices in the Communist Party of MSSR compared with other retirees is hardly understood in the context of the current pathetic option for the European integration, European standards, common European values, etc. , betrays stereotypes of perception and thinking, indicates the perpetuation of practice of making some products of internal mediation consumption, and other products for external consumption, as well as a very typical mode to understand the very mediated “evolution”/ “revolution”, with or without color , of democracy in Moldova.

The cabinet of ministers decided on June 15 to pay a monthly sum worth the minimum salary on country (about eight dollars) to employers for hiring a state-financed graduate from an institution of higher learning, who was not employed for one year after graduation. This indemnity will be paid for a 12-month period, and a 18-month period for employment of 3rd-degree invalid graduates. Only employers who sign contracts for an indefinite period with graduates registered with employment agencies will benefit from this money. If graduates or employers cancel the labor contract earlier than after three years, they will have to pay back the entire sum received the first year to employment agencies.
