E/CN.4/1995/91/Add.1 page 92 A National Advisory Commission for Pre-University Theological and Religious Education, including representatives of the religious denominations, the Religious Affairs Department and the Ministry of Education, has been set up to supervise the application of the law concerning religious education. Furthermore, religions may organize the religious education of their believers through any other means they deem necessary, with no interference from the State. In a spirit of inter-denominational tolerance, a major contribution to the religious education of young people is the weekly programming by the national television station, which provides up-to-date information on the activities of the various religious groups in Romania and abroad. Subsequent to the Revolution of December 1989, the Romanian State initiated a series of measures to redress the abuses of the former regime. One of these measures was Decree-Law No. 9, dated 31 December 1989, officially recognizing the Romanian Church United with Rome (Greek-Catholic). Decree-Law No. 126 of 24 April 1990 was adopted by the Provisional Council of National Union to settle the matter of the property formerly owned by the Romanian Church United with Rome. It stipulates that the assets that were taken over by the State under Decree No. 358/1948 and are currently State property are, with the exception of the landed estates, returned to the Romanian Church United with Rome in their present condition. In conformity with this Act, a mixed commission composed of representatives of the Government and of the Greek-Catholic Church identified a portion of the Church’s former property. As a consequence, the Government adopted Decree No. 466/1992, by which 80 buildings and urban plots of land were restored to the Greek-Catholic Church. Decree No. 126/1990 also specifies that a joint committee made up of representatives of the clergy of both denominations will establish the legal status of churches and of church halls that formerly belonged to the Greek-Catholic Church and are currently administered by the Orthodox Church."
