Decree
As a follow up to President Voronin’s call to build an informational society in the Republic of Moldova, a decree to this effect was passed on March 19. Under the decree, building informational society in the Republic of Moldova is set as a top national priority. It also defines the four tasks Government would have to undertake in this respect, two of them are establishing the National Commission for Building Informational Society in Moldova and working out by the end of the year a Strategy and an Action Plan in this respect.
Indeed President’s initiative is a worthy one. It remains to be seen whether it wouldn’t be compromised as it happened with the Strategy of European Integration which wasn’t developed yet, although it should have been ready by March 14, 2003.
Tasks for the Academy of Science
On the eve of general assembly of the Moldovan Academy of Science, on March 17 President Voronin paid a visit and met employees of the Institute of Economic Research, Institute of Philosophy, Sociology, Political Science and Law; Institute of Interethnic Research and Genetics Institute. President talked consolidating collaboration between the Academy of Science’ institutions and public institutions so as to make full use of scientific research in developing public policies.
A catastrophe, that’s how President viewed Moldovan science. He called on a structural reform and outlined the main targets in this respect, namely “establish a favourable environment to boost innovations, /…/ developing the legal framework allowing the sale of scientific research results; /…/ establishing the legal framework that would allow the transition from flawed state funding in research to state investments in science and innovation /…/ establishing conditions for it (science) to interact with education”. In this respect President outlined ruling party’s intentions in the field of science: concentrate state allocations for scientific research so that they could be accessed only through the Academy of Science; have all scientific institutions under the subordination of the Academy of Science; accrediting Academy institutions; changing Academy structure so that Supreme Council for Science would become a collective executive body of the Academy; raising salaries to scientific researchers; concluding an agreement between Academy and Government that would outline each other’s responsibilities.
Session of the Ministry of Energetics’ College
In his speech at the Ministry of Energetics’ College, President Voronin criticised its activity. He dubbed it a “central controller” and pointed that it would become “the centre” of the industry only after reorganisation. For that to happened President believed the Ministry should: modernise distribution networks, cut production costs, reduce wasted energy, enforce in the next 3 years the Strategy of developing the capacity to generate electricity so as to contribute to energetic sustainability of the country; and decentralise heating system, etc.
