Vă prezentăm mesajul adresat de preşedintele României cu acest prilej: âBună seara. Aş ĂŽncepe prin a vă spune că ceea ce se ĂŽntâmplă astăzi este continuarea nerostită, din motive de interes naţional, a discursului din 25 ianuarie - este probabil partea care a lipsit acelui discurs, dar atât se putea atunci, ĂŽnainte cu o zi de ĂŽnceperea misiunii de evaluare a Fondului, Băncii Mondiale şi Uniunii Europene. Am să ĂŽmi continui discursul mulţumindu-i premierului Emil Boc şi echipei lui. Au fost oameni politici care şi-au asumat responsabilitatea trecerii României prin criză, oameni politici care au pus interesul naţional mai presus de interesele de partid, mai presus de interesele fiecăruia dintre ei ca oameni politici. Şi ce are mai scump un om politic decât voturile şi ĂŽncrederea? Nu poţi cere unui popor să ĂŽnţeleagă prompt ce trebuie să facă un guvern pentru ca ţara să nu se prăbuşească. Iar pentru efortul extraordinar pe care Emil Boc şi echipa lui l-au depus ţin să le mulţumesc, să le mulţumesc pentru că astăzi au adus România ĂŽn condiţia de stabilitate economică şi financiară şi au creat perspective pentru o creştere economică solidă, dar nu foarte rapidă, dar o creştere economică ce poate garanta ĂŽn timp şi o creştere a nivelului de trai al populaţiei. Criza aceasta i-a obligat pe oamenii politici responsabili să nu mai amăgească poporul cu traiul din ĂŽmprumut, cu traiul prin amanetarea viitorului. Şi, dacă peste câteva zile vom afla probabil că România a ĂŽnregistrat ĂŽn 2011 o creştere economică ĂŽn jurul a 2,5 procente ĂŽntr-o perioadă de criză economică, acest lucru se datorează, ĂŽn primul rând, premierului Emil Boc şi echipei sale, căreia, ĂŽncă o dată, ĂŽi mulţumesc. Aş mai spune un lucru, un lucru esenţial a fi spus. Premierul Emil Boc şi echipa lui nu s-au mulţumit doar cu măsurile necesare trecerii prin criză. Ei au avut, ĂŽn acelaşi timp, ca prioritate şi modernizarea statului român. Este adevărat, nu fusese un angajament al Partidului Democrat Liberal pe care Emil Boc ĂŽl conduce ĂŽn campania din 2008, ci era un angajament al meu din campania prezidenţială din 2009. De aceea vreau să le mulţumesc ĂŽncă o dată că au ţinut cont de imperativul fundamental ca măcar parte din programul cu care un candidat câştigă Preşedinţia să fie pus ĂŽn aplicare. Şi aşa au apărut Codurile pentru justiţie, aşa a apărut Legea micii reforme, aşa a apărut Legea pentru sistemul de promovare al magistraţilor la Ănalta Curte de Casaţie şi Justiţie, aşa a apărut noua Lege a salarizării, noua Lege a pensiilor, noul Cod al Muncii, noua Lege a educaţiei, noua Lege a asistenţei sociale. Sigur, am avut şi tentativa de a ĂŽncheia acest proces cu Legea sănătăţii. N-am reuşit nici eu, nici ei, dar rămâne o sarcină pentru viitor, zic eu pentru viitorul apropiat. Aş remarca faptul că Guvernul lui Emil Boc şi miniştrii lui şi-au asumat reforme pe care niciun guvern nu a avut curajul să şi-l asume ĂŽn timp de creştere economică. Nu mi s-a părut că vreun alt guvern a fost preocupat de modernizarea statului român, stat care, până la apariţia legilor pe care le-am pomenit mai ĂŽnainte, era funcţional pe exact instituţiile din ziua revoluţiei de la 1989. Peste acele instituţii s-au aşezat nişte legi care trebuiau să corespundă unor canoane ale unui sistem capitalist, dar instituţiile funcţionau la fel de defectuos ca ĂŽnainte. Sper că implementarea acestor legi va face diferenţa ĂŽntre statul de până la mandatul premierului Emil Boc şi ce va fi după implementarea completă a acestor legi. Ăi cunosc pe toţi cei care au fost parte a echipei premierului Emil Boc. Vreau să spun public un lucru pe care l-am discutat de multe ori şi cu ei toţi la un loc şi adesea şi cu fiecare ĂŽn parte. Toţi au ştiut că măsurile anticriză nu aduc glorie. Toţi au ştiut că tăierile de salarii, creşterea TVA-ului, reducerea masivă a personalului ĂŽn administraţia publică sunt măsuri necesare, dar de pe urma cărora nu vor avea nimic de câştigat ca oameni politici. Cred că a fost Cabinetul care ne-a trebuit, ĂŽntr-un moment ĂŽn care trebuia să avem un Guvern de oameni hotărâţi să ĂŽşi asume riscuri. Nu vreau să ĂŽnţelegeţi că consider pe vreunul din ei perfect. Fiecare a avut erorile lui, neĂŽmplinirile lui, dar au rezolvat problemele de fond ale României ĂŽntr-o perioadă extrem de dificilă şi pentru asta, ĂŽncă o dată, le mulţumesc. Avem un Guvern nou. Felicitări pentru ĂŽnvestitura de astăzi şi aş remarca ceea ce trebuie remarcat. Ăn primul rând sunt doi prim-miniştri, unul care pleacă, altul care vine şi care fac parte din aceeaşi generaţie, generaţia celor cu vârstă de 40 de ani şi puţin. Aş vrea să-i mulţumesc ĂŽncă o dată celui care pleacă, pentru faptul că ĂŽn echipa premierului care vine se află numai miniştri care la revoluţie aveau ĂŽntre 11 ani şi 21 de ani. Este probabil cel mai puternic semnal al faptului că a venit timpul schimbării ĂŽn clasa politică. Este un moment care nu va putea să nu fie luat ĂŽn seamă nici de celelalte partide, nici de Parlament şi - de ce nu? - nici de populaţie. Aveţi ĂŽnsă, domnule prim-ministru Ungureanu, şi voi, tinerii miniştri de la PDL, o misiune extraordinară şi anume aceea de a confirma. Eu consider că a venit timpul generaţiei voastre şi vreau să subliniez astăzi, la ĂŽnvestitură, că cel mai important lucru pentru România este ca voi, cei tineri, să reuşiţi. De aceea, nu voi ezita să acord tot sprijinul pe care ĂŽl pot acorda ĂŽn calitate de Preşedinte, Guvernului Ungureanu. Ăn acelaşi timp, Guvernul beneficiază de oameni politici cu experienţă de la UDMR, de la UNPR şi acest lucru cred eu că este de natură să realizeze acel echilibru ĂŽntre experienţă şi exuberanţa tinereţii ĂŽn interiorul Guvernului. Ce aştept mai mult de la Guvernul Ungureanu decât de la Guvernul Boc? Aştept mai multă rigoare, nu numai ĂŽn acţiune, dar şi ĂŽn comunicare. Aştept mai multă transparenţă, aştept ca pe site-urile ministerelor să apară prompt fiecare leu cheltuit ĂŽn fiecare zi. Aştept ca acest Guvern să continue partea vitală care vizează consolidarea situaţiei economice şi financiare a României şi, ĂŽn acelaşi timp, mă aştept ca, după primul trimestru, dacă economia va confirma aşteptările noastre şi ale populaţiei, să ĂŽncepem un proces de restabilire a nivelului de trai al populaţiei. Dar, repet, dacă economia ne va permite acest lucru. România nu trebuie să mai ĂŽmprumute bani pentru a da salarii. Nu trebuie să mai ĂŽmprumute bani pentru a asigura asistenţa socială. Rămânem, ĂŽntr-adevăr, cu un deficit structural major pe fondul de pensii şi pentru asta vom ĂŽmprumuta bani. 3,6 miliarde de euro nu reprezintă pentru România un deficit mic, dar va trebui să-l acoperim şi din veniturile bugetului, şi din ĂŽmprumuturi. Dar, altfel, până când ne vom rezolva această problemă a deficitului structural de la pensii, ar trebui să reuşim să nu mai ĂŽmprumutăm bani. Aştept de la noul Cabinet noua Lege a sănătăţii. Aştept de la noul Cabinet iniţierea discuţiilor şi cu opoziţia pentru a se conveni asupra unei Legi a reorganizării administrative a României. Şi aici fac referire la instituţiile din ziua revoluţiei, din decembrie 89, şi pe care le găsim şi astăzi intacte şi ĂŽn teritoriu, ca şi ĂŽn multe din instituţiile centrale, ceea ce este una din explicaţiile de fond ale lipsei de competitivitate a instituţiilor statului, ale lipsei de eficienţă a instituţiilor statului, pentru că nu poţi să funcţionezi cu instituţiile unui stat comunist ĂŽntr-un sistem care este deschis pieţei, un sistem capitalist. De aceea, ele trebuie adaptate nu numai punând peste ele nişte legi pe care nu le pot pune ĂŽn aplicare corespunzător şi trebuie adaptate nevoilor actuale ale populaţiei şi nu ale vremurilor trecute. De aceea, mi se pare un imperativ ca atât Legea sănătăţii, cât şi Legea reorganizării administrative să fie ĂŽn atenţia dumnevoastră, ĂŽn aşa fel ĂŽncât pentru următorul ciclu electoral, cel din 2016, să se poată face partea de tranziţie, care nu va fi uşoară - va dura doi, trei, chiar patru ani - către o nouă reorganizare administrativă.

In the history of development aid this can be seen as a unique event: it is for the first time in history that such a large number of countries become international donors, with such short notice and in such a particular context that sees some scholars announcing the ‘death’ of development. But in spite of what might be claimed regarding the ‘end’ of the development era, development discourse seems to be rather vigorous and in good health: it is able to extert an undeniable force of attraction over the twelve countries that, in a matter of years, have already convinced themselves of its validity and adhered to its main tenets. This thesis collects evidence for improving our understanding of this process that sees the co-optation of twelve new countries to the dominant theory and practice of development cooperation. The evidence collected seems to show that one of the tools employed by the promoters of this co-optation process is that of constructing the ‘new’ Member States as ‘new’, inexpert donors that need to learn from the ‘old’ ones.

I am extremely happy to see so many of you, whom I have already had the privilege to meet in the course of the last weeks. On 1 January next, when Bulgaria and Romania become full members of what I consider the world’s most farsighted political undertaking, we shall have taken another historic step towards the realisation of the European project of Unity in Diversity. I cannot tell you how much it means to me, both as a citizen of Romania and as one of its former chief negotiators, to see my country join the European family you represent on the peaceful path that the Union is treading towards the goals of prosperity, solidarity and security. I am deeply committed to European integration, and I would like to assure you that, if confirmed, as a Commissioner I will do my best to make a substantial contribution to move this fascinating European project forward. I am truly honoured by the confidence President Barroso has placed in me as Commissioner designate for Multilingualism, a portfolio that touches the very substance of European identity, since the values and challenges lying in integration, competitiveness, inclusiveness, cohesion, mobility, transparency and democracy are vital to the future of the European project and intimately linked to multilingualism.

  • Aspects and Prospects of EU Multilingualism
    Luca Tomasi Aspects and prospects of EU multilingualism Let me rst of all thank the organisers for the kind invitation to take part in this interest- ing conference and share with you the main lines of the European Commission's policy in the eld of multilingualism. The issue concerning which languages should be used inside the European institutions and in communication with the outside world has existed from the very beginning. In- deed, the rst European piece of legislation ever approved back in 1958 was the regula- tion determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community.1 This regulation was amended following each enlargement to take into account the new of- cial languages, bringing the total number up from the initial four to the present 23. But of course the language issue is much broader than the question of communication within the European institutions and between these institutions, national authorities, and citizens. The progress of information and communication technologies combined with economic liberalisation, demographic movements and political integration has made the environment in which we all live increasingly multilingual. Starting in the last decade of the previous century, the European Commission has ac- cordingly developed a growing awareness of the importance of improving the language competences of all citizens to complement the abolition of physical borders achieved by the adoption of the single market. The 1995 White Paper Teaching and Learning: To- 2 wards the learning society already mentioned the need to “develop prociency in three European languages” as one of its main objectives. The term ‘multilingualism’ itself made its appearance in 2004, when Commissioner Ján Figel’ was given the portfolio of Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism.

  • Establishing the Eu Funds Management System in Romania (2011 - 2015)
    THE PROCESS WITHOUT AN OWNER: ESTABLISHING THE EU FUNDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN ROMANIA (2011 - 2015) Cristian GHINEA Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Faculty of Administration and Public Management, Bucharest, Romania ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to analyze the management system of EU funds in Romania, as it has evolved in the two financial exercises from the EU accession 2007 - 2013, respectively 2014 – 2020, with a clear accent on the evolution of the central public administration system. Romania has started its first financial exercise with a diluted decision-making system, with Managing Authorities spread across the line ministries. It evolved, rather following crises and harsh political decisions than clear and coherent plan, towards a system in which the Managing Authorities are subordinated to two ministries: Ministry for EU Funding and Development Ministry. KEYWORDS EU Funds, Managing Authorities, Management System, public administration. INTRODUCTION In 2016 I had the honor to serve as state adviser within the Romanian government (led by the independent Dacian Cioloș) and one of my responsibilities was to coordinate several ministries dealing with EU Affairs; later on, I was appointed minister for EU Funding. In both capacities, I had to deal with a complex and unwieldy administrative system in which the responsibilities were not clearly defined. As Minister for EU Funding in 2016, I’ve had to opportunity to closely watch and analyze the entire process from within and from the top, having to deal with critical situations and delays. Decisions had to be taken in order to adjust the system, but there were serious limits given the timing - too late in the process of implementing new EU budget for substantial changes.
