The State Chancellery's staff will increase by 56 positions, reaching 379 employees, including the creation of positions for State Secretaries for European Integration
The corresponding amendments to the Regulation on the Organization and Functioning of the State Chancellery, its Structure, and Maximum Headcount were approved by the government at a meeting on March 18. According to the new structure, the State Chancellery is headed by the Secretary General of the Government, who reports to five State Secretaries of the Government, including three State Secretaries for European Integration, one State Secretary for Reintegration, as well as four Deputy Secretaries General of the Government. The State Secretaries of the Government for European Integration report to the Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, and the State Secretary of the Government for Reintegration reports to the Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration. Administratively, they report to the Secretary General of the Government. In total, the Bureau for European Integration will be expanded by 25 positions. A new Department for Coordination of the Implementation of the Reform Agenda will also be established within the State Chancellery. It will comprise 10 staff positions, including a head of department, a deputy head of department, seven chief consultants, and one senior consultant. The Department for Coordination of Foreign Aid and European Financing, the Department for Relations with Parliament and Interdepartmental Coordination, and six other State Chancellery departments (protocol service, audit service, HR, etc.) will also be reorganized. The need for this reorganization is explained by the growing volume of obligations as part of the EU accession process, the increasing number of reforms and reporting requirements, and the importance of improving the efficiency of European funding. According to the authorities, the current institutional model does not ensure sufficient coordination and governance in the face of the increasing workload. The cost of paying salaries for 56 new staff positions will amount to 15.9 million lei in March-December 2026. Another 2.5 million lei will be required for business trips for 56 employees, 2.4 million lei for ensuring adequate working conditions, accordingly, the total costs will amount to 20.8 million lei. // 18.03.2026 —InfoMarket.
