  • European Identity
    Peaceful, prosperous, democratic and respectful of people’s rights, building talk about Europe need to We Europe is an ongoing challenge. For many years it seemed that Europeans lived on a continent of shared values and a common destiny. No one paid attention to the alarm bells warning of growing divisions across the continent, which have become more insistent since the economic and social crisis. Europe and We need to talk its values, previously taken for granted, are now being contested. These clouds are casting a shadow across Europe’s future, and old demons, long dormant, have started to raise their voices again. about Europe With a deepening values divide there is an urgent need for public debate and a reconsideration of how Europeans can strengthen the European project. Is a “Europe united in diversity” still feasible? Can a consensus be forged on a set of values pertaining to a common European identity? What should be done to preserve European unity? The Council of Europe, with its membership covering Europe from Vladivostok to Lisbon and from Reykjavik to Ankara, and its mission to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law, provides an excellent framework for discuss- ing the current state of thinking and dynamics behind the concept of European identity. For these reasons, the Council of Europe, together with the École nationale d’administration in Strasbourg, held a series of European Identity Debates fea- turing eminent personalities from a variety of backgrounds including politics, civil society, academia and the humanities. European Identity This publication presents the 10 European Identity Debates lectures.

  • Promoting Government Accountability in Moldova
    Promoting Government Accountability in Moldova A project supported by the National Endowment for Democracy and implemented by Business News Service /Mold-Street.com during 1 May 2017 - 31 May 2018 The version in English 1 Project coordinator: Eugeniu Rîbca All rights reserved Mold-Street.com © 2 Instead of Pay Raise, Government Prepares Pay Optimization in Public Area Public sector employees – especially in the education area – continue to nourish hopes for a perceptible pay raise. This expectation however is unlikely this year, because the salary bill for teachers and lecturers is al- ready too expensive, the Government says. Earlier protests with education employees forced the Govern- ment to pass a number of decisions regarding the remuneration improvements. One of decisions envisages a salary increase for education staff in public institutions and for other employees based on the Common Tar- iff Network. Pay raise promises Starting May 1, 2017, the public education staff in Moldova will receive a monthly raise of 100 lei (5$) and from September they will get a 10% raise, the Labor and Social Protection Ministry announced. At the same time, current legislation and the 2016 economic performance would allow to raise teachers’ salaries by 5.3% while the Government would be looking for additional funding during the amendment of the 2017 budget. On the other hand, the Government admits in the Additional Memorandum on Economic and Financial Poli- cies with the IMF that it is short of resources to increases the public spending, including salaries. Salary expenses are “too large” "On the expense side the salary expenses in the public sector exceed the targets that have been established in the Memorandum with the International Monetary Fund which was signed on October 24, 2016," the execu- tive said in a press release.
