Art. 15 of the GO 137/2000 on the prevention and punishment of all facts of discrimination, as republished.

12. Age, gender. The right to work The petitioner points to discrimination in maintaining the employment status of women researchers, originating in the different retirement ages unlike in the medical or educational system. The petitioner considers a fact of discrimination that a male colleague was allowed to continue working although he is 65 while she was no longer allowed to work although she is only 60.

The Steering board notes that the dismissal of the work continuation request of the petitioner and the acceptance of a similar request from a male colleague is based on the retirement age, directly connected to the gender of the two persons, that is the female petitioner and her male colleague. The Steering board considers that by terminating the petitioner’s labour contract her right to work is infringed.

The Steering board Resolution no. 762 of 29.11.2016 states that the claimed facts repre- sent a differentiated and discriminatory treatment pursuant to the provisions of Art. 2 par. 1 and of Art. 7 letter a) of the GO 137/2000 on the prevention and punishment of all facts of discrimination, as republished. In what concerns the non-criminal sanctions, the Steering board ruled on imposing a non-criminal warning against the defendant parties.

13. Facts of discrimination against gypsies by associating them with the idea of theft The Romanian National Council for Combating Discrimination was notified by the Amare Romentza Rromani Centre on the following public statements in the Morning ZU radio show on June 16, 2015, 08:50, about the Romani Language Days: “a ciordi” is a synonym of “a mangli”. The petitioner considers that the Romani language has thus been pre- sented as a language of thieves and that gypsyes were associated with the idea of theft. The defendant disagrees with the discrimination charges and states that the statements were part of a humoristic moment with no intended purpose of generating conflicts of negative attitudes and that they do not contain any references to any characteristic of the Romani language.

The Steering board Resolution no. 97/03.02.2016 notes the existence of a differentiated and discriminatory treatment on the basis of Ethnic origin pursuant to the provisions of Art. 2 par. 1 and Art. 15 of the GO 137/2000 on the prevention and punishment of all facts of dis- crimination, as republished (unanimously voted), and disposed that the defendant be fined with a warning. The Romanian National Council for Combating Discrimination also obliges the defendant part to publish the summary of the current decision, excluding the personal data, into a national newspaper.
