The National Union "Meridian" highlights significant staff shortages and inadequate training in the Romanian Customs Authority, leading to traffic congestion at border points. They emphasize that increasing control capacity requires sufficient human resources and a coherent recruitment strategy. The union criticizes the government's recent establishment of an inter-institutional working group, arguing that it fails to address the root causes of the issues. Key problems include a major personnel deficit, poor distribution of staff, and insufficient hiring practices. The government aims to improve border operations through this new group, but the union insists that real solutions must tackle longstanding structural problems.
