Ethics in the digital workplace
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 Government approved a set of decrees on the reorganisation of several public administration institutions in an extraordinary meeting dedicated to increase 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.
In the case of the Public Ministry (Ministerul Public) Emergency Ordinance no. 1 of 29 January 2006, stipulates the provision of 500 additional jobs, public prosecutors for the most part.
The measures are intended to strengthen Romania’s administrative capacity in view of the country’s accession to the European Union, on 1 January 2007.
The recruitment and selection process for the 500 new positions 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.
