Parliament appointed Violina Șpac, who obtained the highest cumulative score in the selection contest, as director of the Administration Board of the National Agency for Energy Regulation (NAER) for a six-year term, IPN reports.
PPPDA MP Stela Macari said the draft decision on the appointment of Violina Șpac should not be adopted as the score of the candidates who took part in the contest was calculated in the absence of the members of the commission on economy, budget and finance and according to unclear methods.
In reply, the commission’s chairman Vladimir Golovatiuc said all the procedures were respected. “The process was transparent, ensured by video cameras, and violations of the regulations weren’t witnessed,” he assured.
In his speech, PAS MP Dumitru Alaiba stated that he does not question the professionalism of Violina Șpac, but it was for the first time that he witnessed the rigging of a contest. Under the regulations, these contests should be public and this does not mean only online broadcasting, but also the placement of an announcement, publishing of the names and CVs of all those who applied.
The National Agency for Energy Regulation is managed by an Administration Board that consists of five directors. The Agency’s director general is Veaceslav Untilă, while Octavian Calmîc, Eugen Carpov and Ștefan Creangă serve as directors.
