Description
The Government approved a set of decrees on the reorganisation of several public administration institutions in an extraordinary meeting aimed at increasing administrative capacity to absorb European Community funds. Overall, the new legislation is meant to reactivate 8,500 civil servants jobs in ministries and other subordinated institutions.
According to Government Decision no. 130 of 29 January 2006, out of the total jobs to be reactivated, 3,953 positions represent the additional staff in the Payments Agency for Interventions in Agriculture (Agenţia de Plăţi şi Intervenţie pentru Agricultură, APIA).
APIA will play a major role in the absorption of structural and cohesion funds immediately following Romania's accession to the European Union.
The recruitment and selection process is set to start on 7 February 2006. Staff working directly with European funds will be granted wages 75% higher than those stipulated by the legislation in force.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
