Simplifying And Systematization Of Local Collectivities Law In The Republic Of Moldavia

Simplifying and systematization of the national legal system is the task of maximum actuality of the European Community states. Legislative inflation, which occurred as a result of excessive elaboration of legal regulations from the last decades, makes it difficult to know and to apply correctly the rules of law compared with the social relationships, which are permanent changing.In the last two decades, the local government of Moldova has undergone multiple reforms (structural and functional) and, to achieve them have been adopted numerous laws.The quality of local governance, however, has not increased. The new legal regulations were adopted without a good correlation with existing ones, and sometimes their provisions overlap or exclude each other. Moreover, today this area is covered by dozens of laws and other regulations.In this context, we believe, a way of improving the quality of local governance could be to simplify and systematize the entire normative framework, which governs the organization and functioning of local authorities, in one Code.In this paper we will argue for such systematization, and, basing on the experience of other states, we will demonstrate the advantage of codification of local law in our country.
