Sergiu Sainciuc, deputy minister of Economy and Commerce declared, in the opening of the seminar, that the R. of Moldova took a series of actions for the implementation of ILO standards, mentioning that the number of conventions ratified by the R. of Moldova should be expanded. Sainciuc also mentioned about the potential difficulties that would appear after Romania’s accession to the EU, stressing upon the migration of work force from Moldova to Romania. As he asserts, Romanians will be tempted to find jobs in member-states of the Union, and the vacancies would need to be filled. Youcef Ghellab, senior specialist at Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue ILO Budapest, thinks that the R. of Moldova registered some progress in the domain of International Labour Standards, but the implementation of social and labour rights should be consolidated, this being the aim of the organized seminar. The International Labour Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations, having the aim of promoting social equity and human rights as well as internationally recognized labour rights. The organization was founded in 1919 and is the only creation of the Versailles Treaty which survived. In 1946 it became the first specialized agency of the UN.
