The Executive also decided to reduce to two the number of state secretaries within the ministry.

Borbely said that 1,190 of the total number of positions to be eliminated are occupied.

The Government decided last week to reduce to two the number of state secretaries in each ministry, except those of Interior, Foreign Affairs and Finance, which will have three secretaries of state. The measure aims at reducing public spending, and follows the enactment of an austerity plan which cuts salaries and increases taxes.
