Stimaţi colegi,

ani de activitate, 40 de ani de viata, deci : dati-mi voie sa-i felicit pe cei care au dat viata acestei

organizatii, pe cei care au consolidat-o si in mod deosebit pe cei care au mentinut-o, ….adica pe dvs.

Organizatia noastra, din Romania, doreste sa benefiecieze de experienta dumneavoastra si sa tina cont in

activitatile sale, de expertiza pe care dvs. i-o puteti acorda , astfel incat sa-si inbunatateasca capacitatile pentru

a apara interesele legitime ale profesiei de grefier. Acesta ar fi unul din motivele pentru care noi am vrea sa

fim membri cu drepturi depline ai Uniunii Europene a Grefierilor. In eventualitatea unei astfel de afilieri,

speram ca impreuna sa ne aducem contributia la consolidarea institutiei grefierului, obiectiv pe care ni l-am

propus si noi in Romania.

Dar cine este Federatia Nationala Sindicala JUSTITIA ?

Aceasta organizatie, reuneste sindicate formate din corpul de profesii care participa la infaptuirea actului de

justitie alaturi de magistrati ( grefieri, arhivari, agenti procedurali, aprozi si alte categorii de pe langa

judecatorii, tribunale, curti de apel, Inalta Curte de Casatie si Justitie, Procuratura.

Preocupari

• Internationalizarea corpului de profesiuni care contribuie la infaptuirea actului de justitie

Alte activitati prezente si de perspectiva:

Ca partener social, federatia coopereaza cu Ministerul Administratiei si Internelor si cu, Consiliul Superior al

Magistraturii pentru infaptuirea politicilor europene in domeniul Justitiei si Afacerilor Interne, in contextul in

care tara noastra trebuie sa-si aduca propria contributie la constructia unui spatiu de libertate, securitate si

justitie in Europa.

Sunt chestiuni politice sensibile :

� Combaterea criminalitatii si imigratiei ilegale

� Asigurarea echitatii sistemelor de azil si protectia acestora impotriva abuzului

� Administrarea justitiei precum si facilitarea accesului la justitie

Cum se realizeaza practic aceste activitati ?

JUSTITIA, organizeaza diverse evenimente impreuna cu Ministerul Administratiei si Internelor precum si cu,

Consiliul Superior al Magistraturii

.

Impreuna am intreprins actiuni dupa cum urmeaza:

Cu Ministerul Administratiei si Internelor :

Teme – dezbatere – Dezvoltare locala si regionala durabila , conditie esentiala de integrare in Uniunea

Europeana – cu acest prilej am abordat si politici ale JAI – ului:

Cu, Consiliul Superior al Magistraturii:

Si asa mai departe ….

In sfarsit, stimati colegi doresc sa va informez ca pe 4 octombrie 2006, in Romania se va sarbatori a 4-a

aniversare a Zilei Europene a Justitiei Civilei. Membrii Federatia Nationala Sindicale JUSTITIA vor participa

cu aceasta ocazie la dezbateri, conferinte si seminarii care vor avea teme de interes pentru grefieri. Aceasta zi

va fi declarata in Romania : „ Ziua Portilor Deschise in instante si institutii din sistemul de justitie ”.

Terminand interventia mea aici, doresc doar sa spun ca mi-ar place sa cred, ca in viitor, evenimentele pe care

le organizeaza Uniunea Europena a Grefierilor( adunari generale, congrese, ateliere de lucru, etc ) se desfasura

si in Romania.

Va multumesc
