ASPECTS OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS OF OFFICIALS AND STATUS OF CIVIL SERVANTSIN ROMANIAAbstractAssistant Lecturer Elisabeta SLABUDunărea de Jos University, GalaţiFaculty of LawThe concept of public office is closely linked to government activity. A public authority includesgenerally three elements: power, material and financial means and staff. Staff, in turn, is divided intodepartments, functions and hierarchical lines. But some functions are public. The staff of an institution orpublic authority is limited, practically, in two categories: contract staff - operating under the contract ofemployment, and public officials - operating under the civil service appointment. The holder of a publicoffice shall be known as a public official and legal relationship established by this institution or publicauthority where the operating name of the service.Within the European Community bodies operate as agents subject to special rules, called officials orEuropean Community as well as contract staff. A potential model for structuring the minimum requirementsmust be met by the public in European countries can be considered the Staff Community, anticipating thefuture shape of a common administrative area of civil service.Adoption of a statute of the general influence of the civil service community, as it is intended togroup the main issues involved provided notice to the employee. There are, outside of this unique status,some special regulations that concern officials of scientific and technical departments.Romanian civil servants provides that the public is "all the powers and responsibilities establishedunder law, in order to achieve the credentials of public power by the central public administration and localgovernment", and the public servant is "the person appointed to public office." Between the two statutes aresimilarities and differences that must be considered thoroughly if there is a real integration of the Romanianlegal system in Europe.GALAŢI, 24 th -25 th of April 2009 51
