Environment, through S.C. for the Conservation and Closure of Conversmin Mines S.A., were
concluded bailment agreements for a fixed period of one year.
In 2011, some of these agreements expired but, as a result of the pressures exerted on
the beneficiaries by the utility providers, new bailment agreements were concluded for an
indefinite period between the displaced persons, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Business
Environment, through S.C. for the Conservation and Closure of Mines S.A. Bucharest with
firm assurances that, in the shortest time, the ownership rights for the new homes will be
transferred.
In the meantime, they are required to pay the tax for the buildings from which they
were relocated and which, either no longer physically exist because they were demolished by
the City Hall of Ocnele Mari, collapsed or were devastated and are in an advanced state of
degradation or they are inhabited by homeless people (who, in their turn, are exposed to the
risk of harm in the event of a collapse). The authorities have aggrieved the rights of the
respective persons because they cannot conclude the compulsory home insurance or the
succession documents (some of the holders have passed away during this time), they cannot
obtain identity documents for children who have turned 14 years old. (according to the
legislation in force the bailment agreement is not a valid document for issuing the identity
card).
The Pitești Territorial Office requested clarifications from the Vâlcea County Prefect
Institution, which announced that:
- 37 families were displaced from the locality of Ocnele Mari;
- for these 37 dwellings no exchange contracts were concluded, as there was a dispute
in court between S.C. Conversmin S.A., the Court of Accounts and the Ministry of Economy,
because one of the measures ordered by the Court of Accounts is the reassessment of the new
homes compared to those owned by the people displaced and the payment of the amount
representing the difference by the owners (the measure was canceled by the High Court of
Cassation and Justice).
The Pitesti Territorial Office asked the Legal and Institutional Relations Department
of the Ministry of Economy to undertake the necessary and legal diligence for issuing the
normative act regulating the legal situation of the buildings in which the petitioners live,
having fulfilled all the conditions of opportunity and legality.
The authority informed us that it issued the advisory opinion both on the draft
normative act requested by the People's Advocate institution and on the one subsequently
issued by the Mineral Resources Department, without specifying, however, whether it is
favorable and when it was issued. In view of the aspects presented, it was proposed to conduct
an investigation at the headquarters of the Ministry of Economy, during January 2020.
● The Ploiești Territorial Office: solved a number of 310 complaints, granted 1101
hearings, answered 753 telephone calls through the dispatch service, carried out 261
awareness raising / collaboration activities with other authorities, proceeded ex officio in 19
cases, carried out 31 investigations and made 22 recommendations.
