Social Democratic Party (PSD) deputy Mihai Ghigiu has submitted a bill to Parliament proposing the establishment of the National Institute for Public Sector Training, through the merger of four existing public institutions.
"The National Institute for Public Sector Training is hereby established as a public institution of national interest, with legal personality, functioning as a specialised body of the central public administration, under the authority of the Prime Minister's Chancellery and coordinated by the Prime Minister. The Institute will be created by merging, through absorption, the National Institute of Administration, the Romanian Diplomatic Institute, the European Institute of Romania and the Training Centre for Industry Personnel in Busteni, which will be dissolved. The new institute will also take over training and professional development responsibilities from the National Institute for Health Services Management, the School of Public Finance and Customs under the National Agency for Fiscal Administration and the School of Taxation under the Ministry of Finance," the draft law reads.
The purpose of the Institute is to implement the Governments strategic directions for strengthening the capacity of the public sector, including in the areas of European affairs and diplomacy, by ensuring the training and professional development of public sector personnel.
The Institute will provide methodological support for the integration and coordination of joint strategic initiatives aimed at professionalising and modernising the public sector.
The institution will be headed by a President with the rank of Secretary of State, assisted by a Vice-President with the rank of Undersecretary of State. Both are to be appointed and dismissed by decision of the Prime Minister, upon the proposal of the head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery.
An Advisory Council will also operate alongside the Institute, consisting of 13 members appointed by the General Secretariat of the Government, the Prime Minister's Chancellery, ministries, local public administration associations and the academic community.
The draft law will be up for public debate at the Chamber of Deputies until May 5.
