CRC/C/ROM/CO/4 page 3 Committee takes note of the government plans to adopt new legislation concerning day care services, family services and children in education and detention centres. 8. The Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party continue to strengthen mechanisms to implement all legislation relevant to the Convention, in line with previous recommendations, and with emphasis on the role of new agencies. The Committee in particular recommends that the State party provide training for judges on the use and application of the Convention in order to encourage the direct reference to the Convention in courts. Coordination 9. The Committee, noting the creation of NAPCR in 2005 and the establishment within it in 2006 of the Department for Monitoring Children’s Rights in Romania with the purpose of analyzing the respect of the rights of all children, is concerned that mandate of NAPCR places an emphasis on protection rather than on the rights of the child. The Committee is further concerned about the lower status of NAPCR vis-à-vis other state agencies and the insufficiency of financial and human resources available to it. The Committee takes note of the coordination role attributed to an inter-ministerial coordination council, which is composed by experts. 10. The Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party ensures coordination of the implementation of the Convention throughout its territory. The Committee further urges the State party to consider strategies for improving the efficacy of national and local child protection institutions, especially by clarifying responsibilities and ensuring sufficient human and financial resources for their implementation. National Plan of Action 11. The Committee notes the adoption of the National Action Plan on the implementation of the law in the domain of child protection in 2005 through Government Order No. 1058/2005. The Committee further notes government Decision No. 860/2008 regarding the approval of the National Strategy for the protection and promotion of children’s rights for 2008-2013, and the elaboration of an Operational Plan for its implementation, both of which were approved by 15 central institutions thereby also assuming responsibility for the proposed activities. The Committee notes that under this National Strategy the State party has undertaken to provide the necessary resources for its implementation. The Committee is, however, concerned that the National Action Plan and the National Strategy may insufficiently address the most vulnerable groups. 12. The Committee encourages the State party to intensify efforts to implement the new National Strategy and other relevant policy instruments while taking into account the outcome document of the 2002 Special Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations “A World Fit for Children” and its mid-term review of 2007. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure adequate budget allocations and follow-up and evaluation mechanisms for the full implementation of the National Strategy and to regularly assess progress achieved and identify possible deficiencies. This Strategy should, in particular, ensure that special attention is paid to children belonging to the most vulnerable groups (e.g. children living in poverty, Roma children, children with disabilities, children with HIV/AIDS, street children, children in need of alternative care).
