Romania’s Senate adopted a legislative proposal to found the Institute for Supporting the Integration of the Republic of Moldova into the European Union for the period of the accession negotiations, caleaeuropeana.ro reports, with reference to Agerpres.

Under the bill initiated by a group of MPs of the National Liberal Party (PNL), it goes to an autonomous administrative institution with legal personality whose role will be to provide technical assistance to the institutions and public authorities of the Republic of Moldova.

The Institute’s annual report will be transmitted to the two chambers of Parliament for an informative purpose. The institution will be managed by a board consisting of the Institute’s head with the rank of state secretary and a deputy head with the rank of state undersecretary. The terms in office of the two will be of four years and could be renewed one time.

The head and deputy head will be named and dismissed by a majority of votes of deputies and senators in a joint meeting of the two chambers of Parliament, at the suggestion of the parliamentary groups, says the draft law.

The legislative proposal will be debated by the Chamber of Deputies, which will take decisions in this case.
