Nicolae Ivan was appointed chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Property Fund on December 23, 2005. He handed in his resignation as state secretary within the Ministry of Public Finance (MFP) the same day. “It was about incompatible positions.

Ivan said that the registration of the Property Fund with the Trade Registry Office was done on December 29 last year.
