摘要

In a speech on Tuesday to a plenary session of Parliament, President Traian Basescu said that the public administration needs to get professional so that staff recruitment may be conducted along competence lines and not political ones, also stressing that what he called the waste of healthcare resources should be halted. "Public wages were cut by 25 percent I know that this has generated dissatisfactions and frustration. Wages in the public sector are very small for those early in their careers. Likewise, there are public employees with experience and seniority who deserve better pay, but we all should realise that we have an oversized administrative apparatus.
