The government is insisting that several key clarifications be made to the draft law on grain import licensing. The Cabinet’s position, along with its comments and proposals, is set forth in the review, which has been published.
The government should not cut public spending simply by reducing the number of civil servants: some government agencies today carry out tasks that did not exist ten years ago, and European integration continues to increase the workload on the bureaucracy. Finance Minister Viktoria Belous made this statement in an interview with Logos Press.
Issues related to technical capabilities and the effectiveness of customs controls took center stage at a meeting between representatives of the Customs Service of the Republic of Moldova and representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Smuggling Detection and Deterrence (NSDD) program.
