Elaboration of the National Development Plan

President Vladimir Voronin has chaired a sitting on elaboration of the National Development Plan (NDP) for 2008–2011, at which the draft concept and structure of the document were presented. According to the draft, the NDP will be worked out on basis of five strategic priorities:

• consolidation of a modern democratic state based on the principle of supremacy of the law;
• settlement of the Transnistrian conflict and reintegration of the country;
• increased competitiveness of national economy;
• development of human resources, employment and promotion of social inclusion;
• regional development.

The future structure of the plan will cover the proper development strategy and the action plan, which will be worked out in compliance with the medium-term expense framework and updated every year in line with the budget law for the year concerned. The period of elaboration will cover three stages: the concept of the document will be established by March 2007; a detailed action plan will be worked out in April-August; public debates will be held in August-October and the Government and Parliament will approve the plan later.

The chief of state stressed the important role of civil society in elaborating the plan, outlining the need of developing this process in a maximum transparency and invited the governmental structured participating in elaboration of this plan to be very receptive in communication with civil society and to ensure a well-structured participative process. According to Vladimir Voronin, the document must have a very good quality so that to be supported by entire society, it must not be a plan of the power only, but one belonging to the entire society, which will actively participle in its implementation, regardless of political visions.

Participation in annual conference of judges

Moldova’s president has stressed in an address to participants in the conference that the reform implemented in the past years has demonstrated both willingness and capacity of judicial institutions to improve the mode of organisation, financing and functioning of law courts. Vladimir Voronin expressed a series of attitudes toward the judicial system:

• monitoring of evolution of legal practice, which has a special importance for ensuring the enforcement of normative acts in an unitary mode and accordingly to the ECHR jurisprudence;
• more than 70 judges have been relieved from offices in the past six years in order to respect exigencies for judges and to combat corruption, while requirements for candidates and judges will grow in future;
• audio or video record of public sessions will ensure more transparency and will mobilise judges to be more exigent, to respect more strictly the norms of ethic and of procedure;
• blaming the entire judiciary for mistakes or inappropriate and harmful conduct of some judges is not accepted, the chief of state will treat every candidate fairly, impartially and exigently in line with the law;
• the image of judges in particular and of the justice in general must improve;
• the judicial system must learn democratic rules of dialogue with other state powers because the chief of state, executive and legislature have a political fundament that depends on perception of population that forms their electorate.

Permanent concerns with situation in pharmaceutical sector

According to reports unveiled at the sitting, reforms promoted in pharmaceutical sector have some positive results: normalised situation on domestic drug market, stricter control on importation of medications and their quality, including due to the automatic information system introduced in this sector. The chief of state called on competent governmental officials to continue the ongoing actions, insisting particularly on need of intensifying the efforts aimed at implementing the automatic information system, improving the mechanisms of organisation of drug procurements, reorganising the existing system of pharmacies and creating a network of pharmacies independent of public medical-sanitary institutions. The priority tasks include among others the improvement of the mechanism of formation of drug prices, optimisation of the range of drugs on domestic market and ensuring of an adequate quality of medications. Also, operative measures were demanded to develop the domestic drug industry, develop the stock society Farmaco, and implement an investment project on organisation of first-need drugs in Moldova.

Moldova’s president has made this promise at a meeting with district chairmen, which studied the implementation of the national programme Moldovan Village in the last two years. Vladimir Voronin has asked the Government to work out within five days the methodology of regulation of prices for elaboration of projects and building of gas pipes in Moldovan localities because entrepreneurs are using exaggerated prices for these works and the state leadership should regulate them.

• discussions hold today refer to contents of scientific researches, new elaborations in specific fields;
• the especially big international aid used to study reforms in Moldova is distributed to specialists from different institutions and nongovernmental organisations, but the Academy of Sciences has also an intellectual potential capable to use better such an assistance. The Academy of Sciences must be an “expertise gate” of the country;
• the next partnership agreement between Government and Academy of Sciences must contain more concrete fields of “state order” (research issues, expected results, technological documentation);
• a special lycee and an university must be urgently created in the Academy of Sciences, etc.
