Sorin Călin Gal resigned from the leadership of ANRM. At the same time, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă announced on Tuesday that he dismissed the head of the National Customs Authority and that he took note of the resignations of the heads of ANAF and the National Agency for Mineral Resources.

“The economic growth we achieved must be felt by the people, and in order to achieve this, the state institutions must be more efficient. After a year in which the country’s GDP increased by 49 billion euro, we must find the same dynamic in the receipts from the budget. We need a more efficient collection system, through which the budget has the necessary resources for the public policies expected by the citizens,” the prime minister said on Facebook, according to News.ro.

Nicolae Ciucă says that “the reform of these institutions must be accelerated, through digitalization, the professionalization of employees and the efficiency of work procedures.”

“Only in this way will we be able to capitalize on the good results of the economy in the public interest and respond to social needs. By continuing the massive investment programs, correct collection of budget revenues and the exploitation of our natural resources, Romania will enter a new stage of modernization, for the benefit of all its citizens”, the prime minister said in the post.
