During the parliamentary hearing, PAS deputy Dinu Plingau noted that “most projects are severely delayed.”
In response, Alexei Hercescu admitted that due to constraints in the planning and implementation stages, several acts have not been approved. But the work is underway and soon “there will be no acts for 2025 that will not be at the stage of finalization”.
The chairman of the Commission for Economy, Budget and Finance, Radu Marian, emphasized that the degree of implementation of acts in the Council is only 55.13%, which puts it in the last place among all public institutions.
“I look at the Bureau of Statistics where the salary level is lower than yours and there are more actions and they are 90% implemented,” Marian said.
Herzescu may be without a chair
Already in the evening of the same day, Dinu Plingau demanded that Hercescu leave the post because “he is not doing well and Moldova is not yet wealthy enough to afford the luxury of such leaders.”
Still, given the complex and comprehensive nature of the projects that the Competition Council develops, its head was given a chance.
The Commission for European Integration demanded an additional detailed table of all actions, including secondary legislation, decisions that are on hold, as well as an implementation plan and risk management measures.
“We realize that your projects are very complex,” admitted the chairman of the Commission for European Integration, Marcel Spatar.
Parliament appointed Alexei Hercescu as chairman of the Competition Council on February 17, 2022, for a five-year term.
