THE INTEGRITY OF LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE NATIONAL INTEGRITY AGENCY

Summary/Abstract: The need for a public life dominated by integrity has determined the Romanian legislator to take a series of normative acts that have established the defense instruments for the integrity standards and the institutions responsible for using these tools. As a part of the Romanian public sector, local public administration must be characterized by a high level of integrity, a prerequisite for quality administration, leading to increased public confidence in the local administration act. The local elected officials must strictly comply with the legal regime governing conflicts of interest and incompatibilities, otherwise they risk being declared incompatible or in conflict of interest. In Romania, the administrative authority ensuring the compliance of local elected officials with the legal provisions on incompatibilities and conflicts of interest is the National Integrity Agency. The article deals with the issue of the integrity of the local elected officials from the perspective of the autonomous administrative authority.
