      ■■   NCCD started an ex-officio investigation on a high-school in Timișoara which
           imposed a number of criteria for the admission of children to the preparatory
           class.
           The investigation was generated by NCCD in the case of Carmen Sylva High-School
           in Timișoara after the media reported that the children were admitted based on some
           criteria related to the parents’ or grandparents’ background with the school. NCCD
           decided that the selection criteria for the admission to the preparatory class used by
           Carmen Sylva Pedagogical High-School in Timișoara were discriminatory, and the
           approval of the respective criteria by the School Inspectorate of the Timiș County fell
           under the provision of article 2 paragraph 4 of the Ordinance. A fine of 4000 lei was
           issued for the inspectorate and a fine of 2000 lei - for the high-school itself.

      ■■   Ruling of the High Court of Cassation and Justice: Traian Băsescu must pay a
           fine for proving injurious to the image of Roma people.
           The High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected the appeal filed by Traian Băsescu
           to challenge the NCCD resolution to issue a fine in his case for the statement about
           traveling Roma people he had made six years earlier, in Ljubljana, by saying that
           “traditionally, many of them live from what they steal”.

      ■■   A fine of 3,000 lei for the MD who humiliated a young girl in Covasna.
           The Emergency Child Hospital in Cluj-Napoca was fined 2000 lei by NCCD, in the case
           of the teenager from Covasna who, while being admitted to the hospital, was humil-
           iated by a doctor because she didn’t speak Romanian. The doctor himself was fined
           1000 lei. According to NCCD, the violation of the right of children and their family to
           be informed about their health situation and medical record in a respectful manner
           and in their native language, or in a language they know, is an act of discrimination.

           for the people with disabilities in calculating the score based on which the priority
           short-list awarding social housing is decided, compared to the revolutionaries getting
           15 points. According to NCCD, this is an act of discrimination.

           parade is to take place in Bucharest anymore! In my capacity as General Mayor of
           the city, I will not allow any more gay parades on the streets of Bucharest. I defend
           the Christian and traditional values of the Capital City and I will not allow Bucharest
           become Sodom and Gomorrah”.
