Only 20% of the issues included in the agenda of the Cabinet’s meetings find a reflection in the government program. These do not have an impact on the people and rather represent some processes, considers the director of the Resource Center for Human Rights (CReDO) Sergiu Ostaf, who analyzed the subjects from the Government’s agenda during the first 30 days of work.

In a news conference at IPN, Sergiu Ostaf said many items were added to the agenda during the meetings of the current Cabinet. This affects decisional transparency. The Filip Government started work a month ago, but conclusive opinions about its actions cannot be formed. In general, the previous governments also didn’t manage to do much during the first 30 days.

As to the February 24 meeting of the Cabinet, Sergiu Ostaf said most of the 46 items included in the agenda cannot bring about substantial changes for the people. Over 60% of the matters were appraised first. However, the experts of the Resource Center for Human Rights approve of some of the bills included in the agenda.

One of them is the bill to reduce the inviolability of MPs. According to Sergiu Ostaf, this will allow arresting lawmakers for serious offenses. The bill will also help reduce the level of corruption of MPs. However, it will not have effects in the near future because a constitutional majority of votes of MP is needed to adopt it.

CReDO also supports the bill regarding the feeing from juvenile responsibility, saying that the adoption of this draft decision will produce positive effects for thousands of minors.

The experts of the Resource Center for Human Rights also approve of the amendments concerning the activity of public associations, but suggest modifying the composition of the certification commission that provides the status of public authority to associations. This commission, which has nine members, should not be named exclusively by Parliament, the Government and the President. Six of the members should be chosen by representatives of the NGO sector, while the others should represent the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice or the State Tax Inspectorate.

The Government headed by Democrat Pavel Filip was voted in on January 20.
