PM instructs to create inquiry commission to check data presented by Moldovan agency

Chisinau, 18 October /MOLDPRES/ - Prime Minister Pavel Filip, in the beginning of a today’s cabinet meeting, referred to a report made by the National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communication and Information Technology (ANRCETI) on the observance of the conditions of licence by the mobile telephony operators. Filip stressed that the report was incomplete and has numerous falsehoods.     

According to the government’s communication and protocol department, the prime minister said that he had had a mandate of information technology and communications minister and knows well the situation in the field. Pavel Filip specified that the Agency did not have the needed equipment to permanently monitor the suppliers and to analyze the quality parameters. At the same time, the PM said that he had contacted the National Centre for Radio Frequencies and found out that its employees in 2017 had not been asked by ANRCETI to make measurements. “Just as I have said, do not stay in armchairs at the Agency, relying on reports made by operators,” Pavel Filip said.    

In the context, the prime minister demanded creation of an inquiry commission, which is to present, till the next cabinet meeting, a detailed analysis on what ANRCETI decision-makers, who compiled the concerned report, relied on. “Personally, I can show you the roads on which the network fails and there is no connection. Therefore, I ask you very much not to come up with incomplete answers, but start doing your job; or I want, following the inquiry, to see all those who were involved and, at least, are lying, bear responsibility for this fact,” Pavel Filip added.       
Also at the today’s meeting, the cabinet approved the dismissal of Grigore Varanita from the office of ANRCETI director, based on the application submitted.
