Note on the activity of the AICESIS President, Mr. Iacob Baciu, President of the ESC of Romania

Following his inauguration as President of AICESIS on 7 September 2017, in Santo Domingo, Mr. Iacob Baciu, President of the ESC of Romania, received letters of congratulations from Presidents of Economic and Social Councils that could not be represented at the AICESIS meeting in the Dominican Republic, more specifically from Mr. Roger Nasnas, President of the ESC of Lebanon, Mr. Alfred Tainga Poloko, President of the ESC of the Central African Republic, Mr. Charles Koffi Diby, President of the ESC of Ivory Coast, and Mr. Pavlo Rozenko, President of the National Tripartite Social and Economic Council of Ukraine and Deputy Prime Minister. The Presidents of the mentioned ESCs expressed in their congratulatory letters their enthusiasm for the AICESIS main working topic for 2017-2019, proposed by President Baciu, as well as their willingness to meet Mr. Baciu in order to discuss the main lines of cooperation between their institutions and the Romanian ESC, in the context of the main working topic and of other secondary working topics of AICESIS. Mr. Baciu replied to the letters and tried to set meeting dates convenient for all parties.

Mr. Baciu already received at the headquarters of the Romanian ESC the visit of a delegation of the Central African council, formed of Mr. Alfred Taïnga Poloko, President, Mr. Nicolas Tiangaye, former Prime-Minister of the CAR, and Mr. Clément De-Boutet M'bamba, General Rapporteur. The Central African delegation wished to make manifest the commitment of its institution to become involved in all the activities of AICESIS and to strengthen collaboration between the Central African and the Romanian councils.

Also, because he highly values the importance of the cooperation between the European Economic and Social Committee and AICESIS, President Baciu addressed a letter to President Georges Dassis, where he expressed his wish to set a meeting in Brussels to discuss the cooperation between the two institutions.

Internally, President Baciu sent information letters concerning his new position as Head of AICESIS to Romanian authorities: Presidency, Government, ministries, the two chambers of Parliament, parliamentary committees, the National Integrity Agency, the People’s Advocate, the National Bank, the Legislative Council, the Superior Council of Magistracy, the Constitutional Court, the Court of Accounts, and to trade union confederations. The President of the Romanian ESC also sent information letters to Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, Mr. Antonio Tajani, President of the European Parliament, as well as to the Romanian MEPs. Mr. Baciu attached to the letters a brief description of AICESIS and his inaugural speech, where he explained his choice of the AICESIS main working topic. He also invited the representatives of the Romanian and European institutions to support the activities of AICESIS. Mr. Baciu received subsequently many congratulatory letters from the representatives of these institutions, who highly appreciated the main working topic for 2017-2019 and enthusiastically expressed their willingness to support the works of the Association.
