The adaptation of Romatsa to the changes occured in the external environment is one of the constant challenges of the management, with a view to increase the performances, of which the enhancement of the organisation efficiency holds an important place. In many situations, the adaptation of an organisation imposes an organisational development, by enhancing the strategy and organisational structure, with effect in increasing the activities efficiency.

The year 2020 represents the deadline settled at European level for the finalisation of carrying into effect of the major changes resulting of the legislation package on the Single European Sky implementation.

In this context, in 2011 the status of the recommendations implementation will be assessed, in order to enable additional measures necessary for the European ATM/ANS system to be safe, competitive and environmentally sustainable.

On the other side, the unfavourable evolution of the air traffic and the benchmarking analysis of the performance criteria have determined Romatsa, in perspective of the year 2010, to start a re-organisation project named “Romatsa 2010”.

In this context, the „Romatsa 2010” Project shall meet the following objectives:

(a)    administrative structuring based on activity domains and objectives/atributions, to  ensure:

• coherence of the management decisions and of the processes implementation;
• removal/repositioning of the overlapping or parallel functions organisational structures;
• increase of productivity and performances by domains of activity;
• the possibility of gradually reducing the staff total number, within the conditions of social protection for the employees;
• reduction of the number of management positions;

(b)    creating the organisational support for:

• implementation of the expenses measuring system by cost centers – an objective stipulated in the Romatsa Strategic Business Plan;
• assesment of the implementation of an employees payment system following the model used by EUROCONTROL;
• Romatsa compliance with the Single European Sky requirements and assurance of the transition in order to provide air navigation services within  DANUBE FAB.

The following table presents the personnel dynamics starting 1988 until now, with the goal of 1515  positions on the 31st of  December 2010 ::

During the period 1 December 2007 – 1 September 2009 a number of 258 employees have had their individual labor contracts expired, in the following percentage of professional categories and reasons:

The re-organising process is supported by the Collective Labour Contract (CCM) provisions on the benefits granted to the employees who chose to cease work contract, through parties agreement,  to enable:

• Early retirement / partial early retirement, or retirement with reduction of standard retirement age for activities within the work group (art 179 section “f2”);

• Voluntary leave of employees with minimum 10 years of working within Romatsa but who cannot qualify for the provisions of art 179 section “f2” (art. 179 section “i”)

Thus, between 1 December 2007 and 1 September 2009, a number of 185 employees benefited of the programme specified in the CCM regarding the ceasing of work contracts through parties agreement.

In this context, reaching the goal set for 2010 is conditioned by the allocated financial resources and the negociations with the social partners.
