Normative acts
In the interval 1948 - 1989 a few thousand normative acts were issued. They were not to be published in the Official Register of Laws and Regulations. The decrees and the decisions of the Great National Assembly/ the State Council, the presidential decrees (starting with 1974) and the decisions taken by the Council of Ministers are nowadays within the custody of the National Archives, the Govern’s Secretarial Department and the Legislative Council.
The IICCR has posted a first lot of 77 normative acts offering information on the establishment and the organisation of several state institutions (AGERPRES, The Council of Ministers, The State Council, The General Directorate for Press and Printings, The Carpaţi Central Economic Office etc). The foregoing documents also refer to the alloting of state pensions to the persons who were engaged in “ revolutionary activities” before 23 August 1944, the inclusion of the political activists within a special category so as to establish their pensions, the rights and obligations of the Romanian citizens employed by joint venture companies whose headquarters were set up in foreign countries, the salaries of clerics and diplomats or the sums of money -in foreign currency- that the Romanian citizens travelling abroad for pleasure were allowed to be in possession of. Other normative acts are centred on the salary benefits granted to the employees of isolated state farms in the Danube Delta, the rights alloted to the players and coaches within the first and the second football leagues or the rewards granted to the persons who contributed to the unveiling of precious metals and currency related offences.
These documents, which are archived within the Library of the Legislative Council, were being photocopied in 2006 by the experts within the Special Investigations Office.
The IICCR has also posted a few documents regarding the organisation and the functioning of the central and local branches of the Communist Party. The documents are available within the National Historical Archives and the Carol I Central Library.
