Victoria Iftodi: Procedure of examining fines will simplified
After the Government session, Victoria Iftodi came to some declarations on the modification of the contraventional code and talked aobu the law regarding the children protection who live with their tutors. Moreover, she referred to the actions plan regarding the implementation of the national anti-corruption strategy for 2011-2015 years.
"This projector was elaborated by the Justice minister and is the base of all the proposals presented by the ministries and the central administration. It is clear that first of all, we want to provide the protection of the citizens rights and to fight against corruption.
This project has 400 articles. I want to mention that one of the modifications targets to complete the contravention code, established the conditions of accountability to the member of a collegiate body in order to implement the action plan for the implementation of the national anti-corruption strategy for 2011-2015.
It provides the legal liability of the members of the collegiate bodies, which is very important, because you always realize that it was not possible to find who is the responsible in a collegial body. This is also the impact we were talking about about countering corruption.
Also in this chapter, if we are talking about changes, it is a problem most likely faced by the majority, especially those who drive cars, because this is the most terrible sanction, when fines are applied, is the problem with the term in to be paid.
In order to guarantee the right to pay half the fine, the payment deadline is to be increased from 72 hours to three working days. The rest days will no longer be taken into account, in order to synchronize the period provided with the working hours of the institutions responsible for receiving the fine.
At the same time, for some contraventions, the application of penalty points will be removed, if the offender will pay the fine in full within three working days from its establishment.
Another positive impact in my opinion is the protection of children. There are two aspects: on the one hand, parents are responsible, at the moment it is governed by the civil code the responsibility of the parents only, the responsibility of the guardians and the guardian, ie it is adjusted to the family code according to which the child has the right not only to the parents but also to meet with both parents, relatives of first degree.
The procedure for finding and examining the contraventions will also be simplified. This will be possible on the basis of the personal findings of the investigating officer, if no evidence is needed and the guilty person will acknowledge the violation. Under the new provisions, the agent will no longer complete the report on the offense, and the sanction will be enforced on the basis of a decision.
Another novelty relates to the possibility of concluding the collaboration agreement between the investigating agent, as the case may be, the prosecutor and the offender who fully acknowledges his guilt, in return for a small punishment. In this context, I would like to mention the favorable practice of modifying otherwise large normative acts, "said Victoria Justice, Minister Iftodi.
