Romania: Law on civil servants' status clears Chamber of Deputies.
Bucharest, March 2 /Agerpres/ - The Chamber of Deputies passed on Tuesday the Law on the civil servants' status that allows heads of devolved institutions to be appointed according to political criteria.

The law was adopted with 172 favorable votes, after roll call and in absence of the Social Democratic and Liberal deputies who left the session to protest the breach of regulation.

The Social Democrats and the Liberals said they would challenge the Law on the civil servant status in the Constitutional Court, if adopted, on ground that the Chamber of Deputies' procedures were violated, Social Democratic Party (PSD, in opposition) deputy Valeriu Zgonea announced on Tuesday.

He added that the Social Democrats have teamed up with the Liberals to work out the challenge.

According to Zgonea, PSD and PNL will also ask the Chamber of Deputies' Standing Bureau to penalize the president of the Administrative Committee, member of the Democratic-Liberal Party Sulfina Barbu, for violating the legal procedures.

'We will ask the Chamber's Speaker to penalize with a notice of warning the president of the Administrative Committee,' said Valeriu Zgonea.

The law on the leadership of devolved institutions was adopted on Monday, article by article, in absence of PSD and PNL deputies. AGERPRES
