The number of executive positions in central and local public institutions will be cut to 12% of their total staff, reads the document.
The institutions to lay off employees are the Agriculture, Interior, Regional Development, Economy, Finance, Labor, Environment, Education, Health and Transport ministries, as well as the Secretariat General of the Government.
Authorities estimate 1,066 people will be hired in local public administration institutions that face staff shortages after the measure is applied.
The Government will decide yearly the number of public administration jobs that may be created or eliminated.
Authorities expect 45 million lei (EUR10 million) will be saved this year and RON108 million in each of the next for years following the reorganization of the administrative apparatus.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta said later Wednesday some 60,000 vacant public administration positions will be eliminated, adding that the sectors not targeted by the measure are healthcare and education.
In 2009, Romania introduced policies to downsize its public sector and allowed hiring only one person for seven vacancies.
According to Ponta, Romania will return to the old system so that each remaining vacant position will be filled.
