The National Integrity Commission will start to examine the income and property statements of civil servants and the statements on conflicts of interest in public institutions on March 1, instead of the Central Examination Commission. It will consist of five members – four designated by Parliament for five years and one fielded by civil society, Info-Prim Neo reports. One of the four members named by the legislature will represent the parliamentary opposition. “We hope that this commission will be constituted as planned, by March 1,” said Viorel Chetraru, head of the Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime, which currently collects these statements, in accordance with the legislation. The Center received 1 256 income statements for 2011 from civil servants. “We process the statements to see if they meet the form and content conditions and then send them to the Central Examination Commission,” said Viorel Chetraru. The legislation now allows only holding accountable the public servants for presenting false statements. The new legislation envisions also fines. Those who will hide certain data will be fined 3 000 to 5 000 lei. The institutions that will refuse to provide the information about the incomes and property of civil servants, asked for by the National Integrity Commission, will face fines of up to 7 000 lei.
