The Government approved the conception of the automated information system State Assistance Register. The Competition Council and the State Information Resources Center “Registru” will make sure that this system is functional. Such a mechanism for monitoring the state benefit is defined in a law that was adopted on June 15, 2012. The register’s main task will be to systematize the data on state assistance, persons who receive such support, providers and sectors of the economy where such assistance is offered, IPN reports.
“Moldova will be the first country covered by the Europeans Neighborhood Policy that will have such a register. It will enable to build a market economy where the state ensures the protection of competition and maintains a normal competition environment,” said the head of the Competition Council Viorica Carare.
The National Participation Council, which brings together representatives of civil society organizations, said the good practice of the European countries confers exclusive responsibility for managing the State Assistance Register on the competition promoting authority. This way, the Competition Council will enjoy full autonomy from the executive’s institutions, including “Registru”, which is managed by the Government.
The register will be created with money from foreign donors and with state budget allocations.
