National and foreign experts finished working out the normative package that defines the method of giving the integrity test to justice sector representatives. The authors hope that the drafted documents will be approved by the Government and Parliament in the near future, Info-Prim Neo reports. The National Anticorruption Center (NAC) will test the integrity of police officers, judges, prosecutors and other functionaries from different bodies. The formulated documents were discussed at public debates that involved representatives of the authorities and civil society on December 6. Expert Corneliu Gurin, who formed part of the working group created by the Ministry of Justice to draft the set of documents, said the NAC was to apply the integrity test starting with October 1, but this thing is delayed owing to the absence of the legal basis. He also said that the integrity test will be confidential and the persons will not even know that they are tested. The NAC will have a subdivision that will center on integrity tests. The Center’s employees will also be tested, by representatives of the Security and Information Service. Attending the debates, Minister of Justice Oleg Efrim said the package of documents was submitted to the Council of Europe for examination given the sensibility of the provisions. According to him, Moldova can no longer tolerate acts of corrupting and no functionary has the right to enrich oneself with the state’s or people’s money. The Head of the EU Delegation to Moldova Dirk Schuebel said that after the political crisis was overcome, corruption remained the most serious problem in Moldova. He stated that the President of the European Commission Hose Manuel Barroso, while in Moldova on a visit, said that the country must bring about changes in justice and combat corruption. The EU encourages the authorities to use all the methods and instruments in the fight against this phenomenon. U.S. Ambassador William Moser said that his country also fought corruption and convicted 28,000 functionaries of bribery. They also introduced the punishment of 20 years’ imprisonment for corruption. William Moser also said that it is a mistake to believe that there is no corruption in the developed states. The fight against this phenomenon should be permanent.
