Sittings. Decisions

Meeting with members of the National Confederation of Trade Unions from Moldova (CNSM)

The meeting focussed on problems faced by employees in budgetary sector and national economy and necessity of optimising the dialogue between trade unions and Government. Prime minister called for building a partnership with trade unions and welcomed the CNSM initiative to resize the tripartite dialogue format (Trade Unions, Employers, Government) with the purpose to optimise it. Speaking about increasing wages of budgetary employees, prime minister said that this will depend on state budget resources and development of national economy. As well, the premier stressed the necessity of improving the fiscal management system and reforming the pension system, actions to be coordinated with unionist partners.

Meeting with members of the National Confederation of Employers

The participants tackled a series of problems faced by representatives of the real sector of economy, inclusively the insufficient coordination between authorities in charge with drafting and promoting policies and employers in the process of elaboration and adoption of normative framework which regulates the work of enterprises, imperfect fiscal system and tariff policies, protection of domestic market and fight against illicit trade, necessity of technical regulation of products and goods, disadvantageous crediting conditions for real sector of economy. Prime minister welcomed the CNPM initiative to extend and develop cooperation between Government and Employers, stressing that it will also involve representatives of unionist organisations to ensure equilibrium in accomplishing common goals. He proposed a joint sitting with the participation of all members of his cabinet to discuss concrete problems and find solutions.

Talks with Foreign Investors Association of Moldova

Representatives of largest foreign companies in Moldova said that the situation is being improved in terms of investment conditions, but signalled some problems and bureaucratic barriers in starting up and developing business. Prime Minister Vlad Filat stressed the importance of developing an efficient partnership in the foreign investment promotion process in Moldova and noted that maintaining the zero tax on reinvested income for the next two years comes to confirm Government’s plans to facilitate the business development. The executive will focus against all negative factors faced by foreign investors in Moldova. The participants agreed at the premier’s initiative to convoke quarterly sittings and discussed existing problems, assess progresses and set goals for next period.

Statements on relations with NIT

The Government released a statement to express surprise with the way the television station NIT and certain political forces report the situation around the end of the rent contract between the Directorate General for Buildings of the Government Administration (now State Chancellery) and joint company “Noile Idei Televizate”. According to the statement, allegations that the TV station NIT will become homeless once the contract is over are groundless, as NIT had privatised 1,732.2 square metres in the same building in exchange for 3,637 lei per square metre. Since the contract was not renewed, NIT should find new headquarters beforehand. The Government regrets that a common contractual relationship was turned into a political situation without any reasons and assures that it does not attempt on the right of NIT to function and will give a reasonable term to this TV station to find room.
