According to Hidroelectrica and the Competition Council, it will abandon the simplified procurement of 4 machines after the austerity decree comes into force. “We refuse this purchase, which was related to the future increase in the number of high-ranking guests from 7 to 11 members at the plenary session of the Council,” Bohdan Chiritsoyu, the president of the authority, told HotNews.ro on Tuesday.

Another measure of the Competition Council is to reduce the number of advisers from the office of the president of the department.

• “I reduced the number of advisers in the office from 8 to 4. They remained in the authorities, but on a part-time basis, only getting paid for 4 hours. The net monthly salary for full-time work is somewhere around 5,000 lei.”, The president of the Competition Council, Bohdan Chiritsa, announced this to HotNews.ro on Tuesday.

Competitions have stopped. The authorities are considering asking the government to unblock employment

As a result of the emergency resolution adopted by the government on Friday, tenders in the department were also blocked.

• “The proceedings concerned 25 positions in the Competition Council. We managed to fill only 3 positions: IT competition inspector and 2 European business advisors. The rest of the procedures have been stopped, let’s see if we will submit the Memorandum to the Government.” Chiritsoi also clarified.

We remind you that the so-called Decree on austerity provides for exceptions to the freezing of the civil service.

• The extraordinary resolution is published in the Official Gazette

Thus, in well-founded cases, a memorandum approved at a Government meeting may approve the holding of contests or exams to fill vacant or temporarily vacant positions in state institutions and authorities with justification of the need and inclusion of personnel expenses approved for this purpose in the budget.
