Representatives of the institutions responsible for public food sector will be heard in the parliament in a case on providing schools and kindergartens with food products. The decision was taken at a today’s parliament meeting.

The initiative came up from the Socialists, and later was supported by other parliamentary factions.

The MPs asked Prime Minister Pavel Filip, Health Minister, Education Minister, head of the National Anticorruption Centre and representatives of the National Food Safety Agency for being present in the parliament. At the same time, Speaker Andrian Candu announced that the parliament’s standing bureau was to set a list of institutions for inviting them to report in the parliament, and the hearings would take place next week.
