The Romanian government launched the official transparency platform guvernanta.gov.ro, according to announcements by Vice Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu and reporting from PS News. The database centralizes management details, executive compensation, CVs, and political affiliations for 121 state-owned companies operating under central authorities.
Executive Compensation and Multiple Postings Revealed
Data published on the platform reveals substantial financial compensation across state-owned enterprises. According to PS News, numerous individuals earn up to 25,000 lei monthly, while 115 people receive between 25,000 and 50,000 lei. An additional 36 individuals earn between 50,000 and 100,000 lei per month, and one person at the top of the scale exceeds 100,000 lei monthly.
The records also show that over 100 people hold at least two leadership positions simultaneously within state-owned company structures.
Documents and Regulatory Framework
The platform hosts public documents published in accordance with Emergency Ordinance (OUG) no. 109/2011. This repository includes numerous CVs of executives and mandate contracts covering board members, supervisory boards, and directorates across the 121 active companies.
“Am centralizat aici informațiile despre consiliile de administrație, consiliile de supraveghere și directoratele la 121 de companii active aflate sub autoritatea tutelară a instituțiilor centrale ale statului,” stated Vice Prime Minister Oana Gheorghiu, emphasizing that citizens have a right to know the qualifications of top state enterprise leadership.
Critiques of State Institutions and Public Spending
Alongside the platform launch, former Deputy Secretary General of the Government Cristina Trăilă raised concerns regarding the utility and efficiency of publicly funded bodies during a television broadcast, pointing specifically to research institutes. Trăilă noted that out of 118 existing institutes, only 45 operate under appropriate conditions, while the usefulness of the remainder warrants review.
Trăilă also questioned the justification for maintaining executive teams at commercial societies reporting consecutive years of losses. “Cum poți tu să fii de ani de zile pe pierderi și să te consideri un management eficient, mărindu-ți anual bonificațiile pe care trebuie să le iei ca membru în Consiliul de Administrație?” she asked.
