concerned social categories and socio-professional categories, in 2008 the number of these complaints decreased to 372 and in 2009 to 222. Thus, there was a decrease of about 50% of complaints regarding discrimination on this criterion to 2007 and of about 40% to 2008. The explanation for this decrease, in NCCD's opinion is tightly related to the legislative amendment of NCCD's prerogatives, following the constitutionality control. (Decision no. 997/2008).

22 National origin should not be confused with citizenship in the statistical data processed and construed by NCCD. This regards situations in which persons who felt discriminated declared their affiliation to a minority, considering that they are discriminated based on this criterion. For example: Russian-Lipovans, Romanian, Turkish, Tatars, Hungarian, Csango, etc. 23 It shall not be confused with citizenship. See the previous footnote. 24 In general, cases which require knowing a certain language for filling a position, publishing of certain information of public interest in a certain language.
