Romania (Notes) Romania - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT Romania's 1991 constitution proclaims Romania a democracy and market economy, in which human dignity, civic rights and freedoms, the unhindered development of human personality, justice, and political pluralism are supreme and guaranteed values. The constitution directs the state to implement free trade, protect the principle of competition, and provide a favorable framework for production. The constitution provides for a President, a Parliament, a Constitutional Court and a separate system of lower courts that includes a Supreme Court. The two-chamber Parliament, consisting of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, is the law-making authority. Deputies and senators are elected for 4-year terms by universal suffrage. The president is elected by popular vote for a maximum of two 4-year terms. He is the Chief of State, charged with safeguarding the constitution, foreign affairs, and the proper functioning of public authorities. He is supreme commander of the armed forces and chairman of the Supreme Defense Council. According to the constitution, he acts as mediator among the power centers within the state, as well as between the state and society. The president nominates the prime minister, who in turn appoints the government, which must be confirmed by a vote of confidence from Parliament. The Constitutional Court adjudicates the constitutionality of challenged laws and decrees. The court consists of nine judges, appointed for a term of 9 years. Three judges are appointed by the Chamber of Deputies, three by the Senate, and three by the president of Romania.

Government Romania Table of Contents THE PROMULGATION of the Constitution of 1965, in which Romania officially proclaimed its status as a socialist republic, was a milestone on its path toward communism. The country had set out on that path in 1945 when the Soviet Union pressured King Michael to appoint communists to key government positions, where they provided the power base for a complete communist takeover and the abolition of the monarchy in December 1947. The political system installed in April 1948, when the Romanian People's Republic was created, was a replica of the Soviet model. The system's goal was to create the conditions for the transition from capitalism through socialism to communism. The formal structure of the government established by the Constitution of 1965 was changed in a significant way by a 1974 amendment that established the office of president of the republic. The occupant of that office was to act as the head of state in both domestic and international affairs. The first president of the republic, Nicolae Ceausescu, still held the office in mid-1989 and acted as head of state, head of the Romanian Communist Party ( Partidul Comunist Român PCR), and commander of the armed forces. His wife, Elena Ceausescu, had risen to the second most powerful position in the hierarchy, and close family members held key posts throughout the party and state bureaucracies. The pervasive presence of the Ceausescus was the distinctive feature of Romania's power structure.

Romania Romania Government and Party Organization for Defense The GNA has constitutional responsibility for national security and the authority to declare war or a national emergency, to order mobilization, to ratify an armistice or peace treaty, to appoint the supreme commander of the armed forces, and to award the ranks of marshal, general, and admiral. When the GNA is not in session, however, the Council of State assumes these powers and Ceausescu, as chairman of the latter, wielded these powers effectively. The small circle of Ceausescu, his family, and his closest political associates exercised real national security and defense policymaking authority, requesting and using expert advice as they deemed necessary. Composed of party and state officials, the Defense Council examined and coordinated all problems related to national security, including both external defense and internal security. It provided strategic direction to the armed forces, supervised militaryrelated industries, and made national military and economic mobilization plans to be executed by the Council of State. In addition to Ceausescu, the Defense Council also included the prime minister, minister of national defense, chief of the Higher Political Council of the Army, chief of staff of the Patriotic Guards, minister of interior, minister of foreign affairs, and chairman of the State Planning Committee. The chief of the General Staff of the armed forces served as secretary to the Defense Council. Theoretically responsible to the GNA and the Council of State, the Defense Council directly advised Ceausescu on national security and defense issues.

During the radio interview, Minister Theodoresco admitted that there was a Holocaust in Transnistria, which was under Romanian occupation. However, he shunned the fact that a large number of Jews who were murdered there were deported from their homes in Romania and were Romanian citizens. He equally ignored that the murder was carried out with the active participation of the Romanian armed forces and police.

Title: Romanian Government To Revamp Intelligence Services Structures Document Number: FBIS-EEU-2001-1116 Document Date: 16 Nov 2001 Sourceline: EUP20011116000143 Bucharest Ziua in Romanian 16 Nov 01 p 3 Language: Romanian Subslug: Report by Radu Tudor: "The Country's Supreme Defense Council Has Given the Green Light for a Historic Initiative Nastase To Control the Intelligence Services" [FBIS Translated Text] In the Form of an Inter-Ministry Cooperation Protocol, the Managers of the Intelligence Structures Will Be Periodically Summoned to Victoria Palace [headquarters of the Romanian Government], for the First Time What was once just a rumor in the corridors of the intelligence services has become reality. Prime Minister Adrian Nastase, through a remarkable political coup, has succeeded in a very important project the prime minister can now control the intelligence services. According to post-December 1989 tradition, the prime minister was merely a consumer of notes, analyses, and reports from the intelligence services. The SRI [Romanian Intelligence Service], SIE [Foreign Intelligence Service], and SPP [Guard and Protection Service] have been controlled by Cotroceni Palace [headquarters of the Romanian presidency] for the last 11 years. Other intelligence services the MI (UM [Military Unit] 0962) and the army's DGIA [Army Intelligence General Directorate] reported to the prime minister, because they are part of the functioning scheme of ministries (the MI [Interior Ministry] and the MApN [Ministry of National Defense]). Government Control After 11 Years Without considering this master move as a new phase in a virtual competition with the president [Ion Iliescu], we must note the absolute novelty in establishing Victoria Palace control over the intelligence services. This is a first for the post-December 1989 period. For these past 11 years the prime minister's office has had overwhelming economic and political control. Now this power gets what it lacked: intelligence power. In a meeting yesterday, the Country's Supreme Defense Council [CSAT] approved the inter-ministry cooperation protocol for managing crisis situations by creating the necessary functional framework to achieve intelligence exchanges and joint conduct of missions and tasks incumbent in institutions that have a role in crisis management. This elegant phrasing means Victoria Palace will control the intelligence services whenever there is a crisis to manage, be it political, economic, or social. There will be opportunities for the prime minister to summon the managers of the intelligence services to Victoria Palace, and to coordinate them according to his own administrative vision and political interests. Of course, all will be strictly coordinated with the Presidential Administration...So Iliescu will no longer blame the press for fueling an inexistent conflict of interest between himself and Nastase. End of the MApN-STS [Special Telecommunication Service] Battle The CSAT has also decided another issue that has generated scandal, as MApN management had accused the STS of trying to gain control over Romania's strategic communications. The CSAT approved rules for the organization and functioning of an inter-departmental commission to coordinate information technology and communications. The proposal was presented by Tudor Tanase, STS director. It says the chairman of the inter-departmental commission is the CSAT secretary, an idea some MApN representatives had fought very hard for. Another important decision was to give the commission the power to regulate, license, and control cryptography, subordinated to the government. This new institution is exceedingly important given its strategic implications. The CSAT has also approved the organizational structures of the SRI and the SIE along the lines proposed by the directors of those institutions, Radu Timofte and Gheorghe Fulga, respectively. Both services will focus more on anti-terrorism, and the SRI will expand its activity to economic counterespionage. Timofte Described the New Structure and Powers of the Institution He Is in Charge of SRI's Divisions Will Be Replaced With Departments SRI's Organization Scheme Is a State Secret At a press briefing held yesterday at SRI headquarters, Timofte described the new SRI structure and powers approved by the CSAT. According to him, the approved reorganization seeks to meet the following objectives: assume the challenges of information warfare, namely identifying and managing threats that are specific to information technology; reconsider and redefine the analytical component of SRI intelligence activities for national security, including the institutionalization of analytically identifying and assessing local and zonal security risks; and resize the main SRI components and regroup them into functional blocs defined by the activity and the logic of the generated information flow. The Organization Scheme The Public version These are the main functional, or department, blocs of the SRI (we must mention that the director used the generic names of the structures, that is, the ones open to the press, not those approved in the organization scheme, which is a state secret): 1. Department for issues of counterespionage and trans-border threats. 2. The inspectorate in charge of preventing and combating terrorism is a structure that will have the powers of a national anti-terrorist authority, according to a previous CSAT decision. It will ensure the development [fundamentarea] and implementation of national programs and international cooperation in this field, generated by the recent evolution of terrorist activity at the global level. The anti-terrorist inspectorate includes a directorate in charge of identifying and assessing terrorist threats and an anti-terrorist protection and intervention brigade. It benefits from the logistic support of an air transport and airborne troop group. 3. The office in charge of supervising state secrets and the directorate in charge of shipping state-secret mail. 4. The department in charge of technical support and intelligence activity identifies illegal radio-electronic transmissions (radio counterespionage), communication, and information technology. This department includes testing labs and other technical sources, as well as the production of technical means to obtain security information for protected objects. The departments of the functional structures include the secretariat, legal office, human resources, personnel training and career counseling, database records, management of physical-financial resources and assets, health-social insurance, and internal security. The directorate of integration and foreign relations will have a special group for links with non-governmental organizations, The President's Security Adviser Is Happy Ioan Talpes Says Intelligence Services Are Conforming to Normality Talpes, national security adviser to the president, said the CSAT approved at its meeting yesterday 2001-2004 SIE's and SRI's strategies, which seek to redistribute their staff according to the new challenges faced following the 11 September attacks in the United States. Talpes emphasized that the new strategies mainly deal with fighting terrorism and relations with foreign intelligence services. He noted that intelligence services all over the world have been mostly concerned with creating the means to prevent and retaliate against terrorism following 11 September. The national security adviser said Romania had to change the organization scheme of its intelligence services, to be able to act as a de facto NATO ally, a phrase used immediately after the terrorist attacks in the United States. Talpes said he insisted on higher budget appropriations for national security and defense in the state budget for 2002, and most of that was an increased budget for special services. He expressed his hope that the intelligence services will get the money they need for restructuring when the budget is amended next year. Talpes said there are some "reservations" about restructuring in the intelligence services, because departments that used to be "interesting" could lose some of their importance. The presidential adviser said the measures taken by the CSAT at Thursday's [15 November] meeting were taken for "[the intelligence services] to conform to normality." "No state that respects itself can fail to take measures to prevent threats," Talpes said. He said that for now the existing global threats are concentrated in the United States, but "nobody in Europe excludes the possibility that Europe, too, will become a field for such actions." "This is about responsibility and assuring a certain credibility," Talpes added.

Title: Romanian Government Extends Foreign Intelligence Service Powers Document Number: FBIS-EEU-2001-1203 Document Date: 03 Dec 2001 Sourceline: EUP20011203000152 Bucharest Evenimentul Zilei in Romanian 03 Dec 01 p 6 Language: Romanian Subslug: Report by Nicoleta Savin and Ondine Ghergut: "SIE Limited" [FBIS Translated Text] Holiday Gifts From the Government to Spies The government has amended and completed an emergency ordinance amending the law on the organization and functioning of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SIE). The ordinance, approved at the 21 November government meeting, was published in Monitorul Oficial [Official Gazette] on 29 November. The most important amendments made to the law, originally passed by parliament in 1998, refer to financing the SIE from extra-budgetary sources and to the authority this service now has to establish and use undercover companies. The new regulations allow the SIE to obtain funds which is praiseworthy considering the austere budget but they do not say a word about controlling such operations. In other words, the ordinance limits parliamentary control over the SIE because it is almost impossible to check the use of funds that do not come from the budget. The new law offers the SIE extended powers in intelligence gathering and in hiding its own activity from key state institutions. Allowed To Make "Gray" Money The ordinance approved by the Adrian Nastase cabinet solves a severe SIE problem financing. The SIE has repeatedly complained of not having sufficient funds, but lawmakers after 1990 never approved the use of extra-budgetary funds. The current government gave the green light for using such sources, without mentioning them by name. More, the ordinance does not provide for any control over such operations. In the old law, SIE activity was financed out of the budget, and "the planning, record-keeping, and use of the funds was established by the CSAT [Country Supreme Defense Council]." Beyond extra-budgetary sources, the ordinance also provides for other ways of making money: the SIE can receive and manage assets that are the state's public or private property; it can rent these assets, depending on the political regime, and retain one-half of the rent. The ordinance does not say what assets, and public or private property of the state, will be managed by the SIE. Ghost Companies Two other dreams dating back to the time when the former DIE [Foreign Intelligence Directorate] was transformed into the SIE have come true, just before Christmas, for Gheorghe Fulga's [SIE director] boys. The new law gives them the explicit right to use undercover legal entities, established under the law. And, as if this was not enough, another article says in black and white that "the SIE shall conduct economic activities under the law." Those activities will surely be profitable, because another article covers the use of the funds thus obtained: "The money obtained from such activities and not spent shall be carried into the following year." In other words, they expect profits to exceed expenditures, so the SIE is allowed to save money. State Institutions To Take Exams With the SIE Before this ordinance, the SIE had the right to request and obtain, under the law, information, data, and documents from individuals and legal entities only. The new statute expands that area to all levels of society, namely, "Romanian public authorities, economic agents, other legal entities, and other individuals." At the same time a new article was introduced, according to which "the regulations in force on transmitting to other institutions nominal record-keeping or statistical data and information shall apply in the case of the SIE only to the extent that supplying such data will not trigger the disclosure of actions, locations, and personnel." Therefore, the SIE cooperates with other institutions now and then. As for the rest, good times are in store for the SIE: upon a proposal of the SIE director and with CSAT approval, SIE officers can be engaged in concrete operations and cooperation with partner services abroad, its civilian employees are considered civil servants, and SIE may train its personnel in military or civilian institutions abroad.

At the same time the organization regrets that the government has failed to take this opportunity to fully acknowledge the crisis in mental health care services, one of the most tragic human rights issues facing Romania today. Amnesty International also regrets the government's failure to engage in a constructive dialogue with the organization and the Romanian civil society, as a first step to remedying the situation. In the last 15 years, successive Romanian governments failed to recognize the gravity of the situation in mental health care services and to introduce the required comprehensive and effective reforms. Without recognizing the true dimensions and all aspects of the problem it is impossible to expect that a tragic situation which concerns thousands of human beings held in psychiatric institutions in deplorable conditions is addressed urgently and appropriately and in line with all of Romania's obligations under international human rights treaties. The government is not simply in violation of international and domestic law. In light of the human suffering which takes place in these institutions, recognized by most Romanians who are well informed about this situation, the morality of a position that denies reality is highly questionable.
