Gabriela Coman - the new Secretary of State at the Authority for the Protection of the Rights of the Child and Adoption

The National Authority for the Protection of the Rights of the Child and Adoption, re-established by a decision of the Government in March, will be coordinated by Gabriela Coman, appointed at the head of the institution, with the rank of Secretary of State, by decision of Prime Minister Victor Ponta.

The appointment decision was signed at the proposal of the Minister of Labor.

At the same time, as an effect of the law for the abolition of the Romanian Office for Adoptions, by the decision of the prime minister, it was found that the term of office of Bogdan Panait at the management of this institution was terminated.

Gabriela Coman has been working in the field of child protection since 1992 and was also Secretary of State at the National Authority for Child Protection and Adoption (ANPCA) from June 2001 to December 2004, when Law 272/2004 on the protection of the rights of the child was drafted and approved. .

Labour Minister Zeta Emilianidou is promoting amendments to a bill modernising the adoption law so as to also promote private placement adoptions. This will mean children are placed in families not just by the state.

The new law will also aim to effectively respond to children’s rights and be designed in such a way so that the state will be in a position to implement it.
