Indicator history

We could not find analysis on ethnic monitorities'  representation in public administration (national government, local government, judiciary). The law provides the right of national minorities to speak their mother tongue in relations with local administration, if they are living in an administrative unit with a minimum of 20% representation of the respective national minority (Art.19 of the Law No.215/2001 of local public administration). Consequently, in principle, people beloging to those national minorities should be hired in local administration to ensure the exercise of the right of their fellows.

See Law No.215/2001 of local public administration available at http://www.avocatnet.ro/UserFiles/articleFiles/legeaadministratieipublicelocale_actualizata_06051924.htm (accessed on 14.02.2012)

Analysis on ethnic minorities' representation in elected bodies at the national and local level exist.
