Public opinion on the responsibility of the political class REMAINS National Anti-Corruption Center (NAC) and National Integrity Commission (CNI)

Facts:

CNA and CNI are the main institutions responsible for fighting corruption. Effective policies to combat corruption is impossible without ensuring the functioning of these institutions. In December 2011 Parliament voted the NIC Act provides that it will operate from March 1, 2012 In June 2012 Parliament appointed members, but has not yet appointed president of CNI. In May 2012, the Parliament adopted the law that creates CNA since October 1, 2012, successor of CCECC. In September 2012, NAC director candidate to be selected through a public competition and competitive. Parliament has not yet confirmed CNA Director Political responsibility: Entire political class: PL, PD, LDP, together with the opposition Communist Party, independent MPs and MEPs groups are responsible for delays undermine the capacity of data and status to fight corruption. REMAINS CNA and CNI are exceptions to European integration plan. Liberal Party president CNI claims, insisting its exponent, given the option dictated by political and departmental. Some factions and political groups in Parliament voting Director CNA condition, thus trying to create pressure on the candidate, insisting on appointing their representatives CNA leadership. Serious situation is observed independence political influence CNA and CNI clear statements inadmissible politicization of these institutions. Depoliticization promises are neglected, as well as provisions governing program and its commitments to the European integration process is compromised!

Adverse consequences:

CNA: In period 1 to 15 October 2012, de jure, CNA is unable to carry out operative and investigation of corruption offenses. A staff of over 200 employees in carrying out its functions turned off and the situation will remain uncertain period! Institution is pressure on illegal employees are thrown into uncertainty of business. Almost 6000 days of CNA staff to combat corruption are wasted. The company probably lost tens if not hundreds of cases finding corruption. Direct costs amounted to over 0.2 million. lions losses (working day) and indirect costs (corruption prevention) can amount to tens of millions of lei. The worst is that during this period the effect of preventive repression is quiet, being encouraged corrupt behavior in public and private sectors.

CNI:

CNI REMAINS for a period of 6 months has adverse effects on state capacity to fight corruption in the public sector. 5 members and 21 appointed CNI prospective employees can examine over 20,000 financial disclosure and personal interests of civil servants in 2012. Hundreds if not thousands of cases of conflicts of interest will be found, enormous harm society by continuing trading in influence, abuse of office, corruption, self-interest and political decisions. Delay creates a legal vacuum for mandatory submission of wealth statements, personal interests and conflicts of interest for 2011 and checked in 2012. Inaction increases the costs and adverse effects for society. The magnitude of the danger of corruption can not be tolerated. In these circumstances, politicians who claim European agenda are ridiculous and lose their integrity and legitimacy.

Recommendations:
Parliament will have its first plenary civil society candidacy - the only candidate selected by competitive and transparent with a reputable and appropriate tool qualification data - CNI president.
Parliament will have the selected folder CNA vote at its first plenary session. Political actors will exert political pressure and interference in power NAC Director to freely choose their deputies. We trust that there will be a majority of deputies responsible employees needed in the fight against corruption. Can not be justified morally or politically, or downtime costs and adverse effects of CNA and CNI. Prosecutor investigating potential cases will have political influence and interference in the work of CNI and CNA and give appreciation situations resulting REMAINS CNA and CNI. The European Commission will take action on the lack of progress on the substance to ensure the functionality CNA and CNI. Technical assistance to the Republic of Moldova may become unsynchronized with the current reforms and the behavior of decision.
