Sittings. Decisions. Statements

Production of drugs

Prime Minister Vasile Tarlev has convoked decision makers in charge with development of drug industry. According to communications, competent authorities have taken a number of actions in the past three years to encourage domestic enterprises to make drugs and, therefore, the technical and financial condition of these companies (stock society Farmaco) has essentially improved. Tarlev outlined the importance of developing the drug industry in order to provide population with quality drugs for accessible prices and supported the development plan of drug industry, seeking more efficient actions to attract necessary investments.

Development of dwelling-communal sector

It was reported at a sitting convoked by prime minister that 30 residential blocks comprising about 3,000 apartments have been put into operation with the state support in municipalities of Chisinau, Balti, in Hincesti, Ungheni, Basarabeasca and Cimislia, etc. At the same time, authorities take measures to create an efficient legal-normative base for housing: draft laws on social apartments, on condominium, on mortgage, etc. Premier Tarlev noted that public authorities of all levels must create normal living conditions for citizens and urged competent bodies to finish the social and mortgage housing building programme. He raised concern with condition of very old blocks, underling the need of surveying all old blocks in Moldova, in order to issue technical passports and consolidate or destroy them.

Central Administration Reform

Premier Tarlev has chaired a sitting of the Consultative Committee for Supervision of central public administration reform, which heard a report on accomplishments of the reform in January-May 2007 and traced long-term goals and tasks. Committee members concluded on basis of the assessment report that most of actions stipulated by implementation plan of the central public administration reform strategy have been achieved. They signalled following difficulties and shortcomings: low capacity of central public authorities to work out own reorganisation/modernisation plans; lack of a directorate to analyse the coordination of sectoral policies; late finalisation of the draft law on central public administration; lack of concepts on classification of public functions and remuneration of public functionaries.
