Minister of Economy and Infrastructure Vadim Brînzan said he is against instituting a moratorium in the building sector, as it was suggested following the collapse of an apartment building in Otaci town.
According to the minister, the building activity had a significant impact on the GDP growth during the first four months of this year. “A moratorium will only annihilate this effect,” the minister was quoted by IPN as saying in a news conference.
Vadim Brînzan noted he is for punishing those who flout the law and commit irregularities in the sector. “We must act unmistakably and consistently. From now on we will not allow breaking the law and will not allow builders to disobey the rules and will have to impose penalties,” he stated.
The minister also said that inspections will be carried out to identify blocks erected with irregularities.
