Chisinau, June 28. / MOLDPRES / - About 15% of the 184 employees of the Customs Service's (SV) Central Apparatus do not fit the position held, and are to be dimissed from office. Director General of the Customs Service Vitalie Vrabie made statements to this effect at a summing-up meeting of SV's Certification Commission. 

According to a press release by the Customs Service, the final decisions by the Certification Commission were adopted after examining eligibility criteria set out in the statement of attestation, such as compliance with the requirements for the exercised office, observing the labour discipline, as well as the performance achieved within the interview.

After verification, the Commission proposed to consider possibility of stimulating customs officers who proved high professional skills.
