A draft containing these provisions has been registered in Parliament as a legislative initiative by a group of deputies. Amendments to the legislation on the declaration of property and personal interests are proposed to supplement the legal framework with new categories of declaration subjects. They will include recipients of funding from the state budget and/or from foreign aid projects through grants and external loans taken or guaranteed by the state. The new provisions also apply to persons from the associative sector, who also receive state and external funding.
Subject to the approval of the draft as amended by the authors, Law No. 133/2016 on the declaration of assets and personal interests will be supplemented with two new paragraphs:
– founders, heads, members of governing and executive bodies, members of supervisory and control bodies and employees of providers of audiovisual media services, periodicals, press agencies and non-profit organizations financed from the state budget and foreign aid projects, including cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation programs, with the exception of employees performing auxiliary functions – secretarial, protocol and administrative.
– persons contracted to participate in project teams of external assistance financed from grants to the government or budget-financed institutions and/or from external loans taken or guaranteed by the state, including persons remunerated under cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation programs.
The new rules are expected to enter into force as soon as they are officially published.
