The soon-to-be new Government of Moldova will revise the role to be played by governmental structures and their destination, and will substantially raise their actual output for the nation, candidate for the premiership Vlad Filat stated during a large meeting he organized on Monday with the representatives of the civil society, employers’ associations, trade unions, business circles and the media to discuss the goals and priorities of his would-be cabinet.<\/p>\n

Filat stressed the role to be played by state structures shall be to serve the country, not solely some parties or certain personalities. Accordingly, such structures will be strictly accountable to the Government, but this will be done transparently, "without usurping of state power by one person. First and foremost, this is necessary for the Government itself".<\/p>\n

Many company managers, trade union activists, representatives of insurers’ association, bankers, transport sector officials spoke out a whole number of proposals to the future government. For instance, employers said that essential decisions should be taken upon preliminary agreement with employers’ associations, and that the government should have its permanent representatives at the Ministry of Labor and other state structures.<\/p>\n

Trade unions, driven by their main mission – protection of working people’s interests – called upon the government to curb recession in the economy’s real sector, create new jobs and provide financial and social privileges to young specialists.<\/p>\n

"Moldova’s basic problem is a very low level of salaries and wages. Our people want to work hard and to receive salaries corresponding to prices in shops and utility rates", stated Moldovan Trade Union Confederation Chairman Petru Chiriac.<\/p>\n

He recommended the Government to adopt a law on the subsistence minimum, which would let raise pays in various economy sectors, including the public sector. Currently, for instance, the minimum wage in the real sector is 900 lei (US$80) a month, and in the public sector – 600 lei.<\/p>\n

Trade unions proposed to introduce a new mechanism of indexation of salaries, to create a Socio-Economic Council, to institutionalize a Labor Tribunal and a Labor Arbitration in order to better protect workers in crisis conditions.<\/p>\n

Pavel Caba, Chairman of the Building Companies Managers’ Association, drew Filat’s attention to the very hard situation that has developed in the building sector, where economic indicators have dropped by 50% against last year. At the moment, apartments totaling over 1 million square meters of dwelling space have been frozen at various stages of readiness, which means that approximately 1 billion euros has been frozen. Many of the apartment houses were started months ago on money obtained from banks, and now, when sales of dwellings are slack, building companies cannot return credits to banks, requesting credit restructuring.<\/p>\n

A real, shameful problem in Moldova is the red tape, people of business said. In very many instances, the procedure of obtaining permissions, documents and approvals takes as long as to build a large multistory apartment house – 2 years.<\/p>\n

Caba proposed the Moldovan state, in person of the Moldovan Government, should take part in mortgaging by means of obtaining cheap and long-term credits from abroad.<\/p>\n

Moldovan Banking Association Chairman Dumitru Ursu presented the current situation in the Moldovan banking sector. He said, in particular, that the inflation suppressing measures, undertaken by the previous Government in 2008, led to deflation in the first half of 2009, which means the previous Government failed to take proper measures to protect domestic producers.<\/p>\n

Ursu proposed founding a council or committee for financial stabilization, as is being recommended by the European Union. Such body could comprise the representatives of the National Bank, National Commission for Financial Market and other structures that would be coordinating joint steps to prevent financial risks.<\/p>\n

Among problems that need to be tackled urgently Ursu mentioned: a new requirement to come into effect from 1 January 2010 – on income taxation of bank deposits of corporations and individuals; a better filling of the Fund for crediting small and medium-size enterprises with cheap and long-term credits from abroad; and raising of the security sum on bank deposits (currently, the sum is merely 6,000 lei, or US$526 equivalent).<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Agricultural Producers’ Association Vasile Bumacov said that farmers’ real enemy is not drought or floods, their real enemy is economic discrimination. He offered the Government to determine priority spheres in the farm sector proceeding from the assumption that, for instance, Moldovan grain farmers will hardly ever be able to win competition with their Western colleagues. Accordingly, he presumes, the Government should have a more cautious and wise approach to projects in the farm sector that are realized on foreign donors’ means, and should possibly avoid instances when all foreign means provided for a project go away in salaries to foreign experts working in the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
