The bill on jobs held simultaneously that was put up by the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party does not efficiently regulate the relations concerning the concurrent holding of posts and may cause corruption-related problems, said the expert of Center for the Analysis and Prevention of Corruption (CAPC) Viorel Pirvan. He stated that this bill may affect the whole law system, Info-Prim Neo reports. According to the bill authors, the law should contribute to filling the vacuum in the legal relations concerning concurrent job holding. “The simultaneous holding of jobs is now regulated by the Labor Code and a series of normative documents. The bill provides nothing new. It only doubles the existing norms. Moreover, it contains the same norms as the regulations adopted by a Government Decision of 1997, which was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court,” said the CAPC expert. Viorel Pirvan also said that this bill includes a series of restrictions. For example, it says that the medical personnel can hold several jobs simultaneously only if the Ministry of Health’s administration gives its consent, while the teaching staff needs the consent of the administration of the Ministry of Education. “These restrictions are a violation of employees’ rights,” he stated. He stressed that the bill regulates the setting of allowances for temporary incapacity for work and the payment of pensions, but there are special laws that govern these areas. Viorel Pirvan said that the bill wasn’t submitted to civil society for approval. It does not refer to the social impact that would justify the necessity of adopting it, does not enumerate the advantages and disadvantages and contains no economic-financial justification, i.e. what costs can be incurred when implementing the law. CAPC head Galina Bostan welcomed the Government’s decision to reject the bill. “This bill was withdrawn. We hope that we also contributed to its withdrawal, together with the Government’s rejection,” she stated. The CAPC examined the bill within the project “Assessment of Corruption Risks of Normative and Legislative Acts – Stage V” that is supported financially by the Civil Rights Defenders of Sweden and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. .
