The anti-corruption special committee wants to set limits on civil servants' mobility. They cannot immediately go to work for companies where they may have made decisions.
The committee wants civil servants' movements to be monitored. This helps avoid problems when an official uses their knowledge unfairly. The new law allows banning the start of new employment for up to a year.
This method is fair because it helps avoid conflicts. Civil servants often have access to sensitive information. This information should not leak into the private sector.
The Security Police have noted that the problem is significant in the fields of national defense and energy. The new law does not aim to hinder civil servants' mobility but to avoid risks.
It is currently unclear whether civil servants will receive compensation from the state during the employment ban. This is referred to as a "golden handshake".
The committee adopted the draft on June 15. The law will enter into force on March 1, 2027. This gives institutions time to adapt.
