From January 1, 2020, state checks on the activity of entrepreneurs will be planned and carried out exclusively through the State Registry of Controls. The subject was debated at the National Council for Dispute Settlement, where the Secretary General of the Government, Andrei Spînu stated that "state checks should not be a stumbling block for entrepreneurs and neither a source of encouragement for corruption."

According to a Government press release, quoted by IPN, almost 70% of the number of state checks carried out in 2018 were unannounced and only 30% - planned. "The dissatisfaction of the people with the control bodies is very high, and their confidence in the state institutions is extremely low. Things cannot continue like this, "said the Secretary General of the Government. Andrei Spînu demanded that from next year the checks be conducted in an organized way, with the purpose of informing and not sanctioning. Also, all actions should be included in the State Registry of Checks.

Last year, the institutions that carried out the greatest number of state checks were the National Agency for Food Safety - over 30 thousand checks, the State Tax Service - almost 19 thousand and the National Agency for Public Health - 11 thousand checks.

Each control body has a Council for the settlement of disputes, where economic agents can send appeals if their rights are violated.
