The High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal in the interest of the law filed by the Board of the Court of Appeal of Galați, establishing that under a uniform interpretation of Article 95(11) of Law No. 76/2002 and Article 59 of Government Decision No. 174/2002, the execution of agreements between employers and public employment agencies pursuant to Annex No. 19 of the Methodological Norms is not conditioned on the prior approval of specific funds in the unemployment insurance budget. The decision resolves a conflict in the application of labor law provisions regarding the financing mechanisms for public employment agency agreements, effectively overriding any judicial interpretation that required budgetary availability as a prerequisite for contractual validity. The ruling is mandatory pursuant to Article 517(4) of the Civil Procedure Code, ensuring nationwide uniformity in the legal treatment of unemployment insurance obligations and agency contracting.
