Bucharest General mayor Traian Basescu on Tuesday announced that he had appointed the former head of Government Control Department Ovidiu Grecea as head of the Inspection Department within Bucharest City Hall.

“Grecea and a whole specialised team will check the way the law is observed in Bucharest, both by economic agents and natural persons, so that no law-breaching situations may occur again, such as it was the case with the street boutiques,” Basescu stated.

The mayor maintains that Grecea will take over its prerogatives within the city hall in a few days, so that the control teams may start working next week.

The position of Inspection Department head had been vacant before Traian Basescu took over the seat of general mayor, following the transfer of Petre Constatinescu to RA APPS. Mediafax
