Zilele trecute, Lumeajustitiei.ro a abordat, intr-un interviu realizat cu presedintele Uniunii Mediatorilor Bancari problemele serioase din lumea nolua a mediatorilor si neregulile legate de activitatea Consiliului de Mediere. Totodata, am publicat, separat, zvonul conform caruia marele mediator european Thierry Barby este lasat sa astepte pe tusa de catre acest Consiliu de Mediere care a pus monopol pe cursuri si autorizare, fara a primi pana azi acceptul la solicitarea sa de a fi autorizat pentru a fi inscris si in Tabloul mediatorilor din Romania si pentru a avea calitatea de formator.

Lumeajustitiei. Ro este, azi, in posesia scrisorii trimise in 5 mai 2009 de catre presedintele Forumului Mondial al Centrelor de Mediere, Thierry Garby (foto), scrisoare adresata de catre acesta presedintele Consiliului de Mediere, Anca Ciucaa. Nici pana azi, din cate suntem informati, lui Garby nu i s-a raspuns. Inca de la vremea aceea, Garby ii batea, cu rafinament, obrazul sefei Consiliului de Mediere din Romania ca acest Consiliu din Romania nu recunoscuse diplomele eliberate de institutia pe care acesta o conduce, fapt nemaintalnit in Europa. Ulterior acestei scrisori, Consiliul de Mediere s-a vazut nevoit sa recunoasca aceste diplome internationale mai multor avocati din Romania, printre care Elena Bustea, consilier in Consiliul Baroului Bucuresti, si deputatul Alina Gorghiu. Totusi, cu tot efortul si bogata corespondenta trimisa la Consiliul de Mediere din Romania, n-o sa va vina sa credeti, dar Thierry Garby nu are nici la aceasta ora recunoasterea ca mediator si nici ok-ul echipei Ciuca-Sustak pentru a putea fi formator si in Romania.

Redam mai jos scrisoarea din 5 mai 2009 a lui Therry Garby catre Consiliul de Mediere:

Stimata dna Ciuca,

Cand am avut ultima data placerea de a va intalni la Bucuresti am discutat situatia dosarului meu de la Consiliu, care este in asteptare de multe luni, si in legatura cu care inca nu am primit nici un raspuns.

Am inteles de la prietenii mei din Bucuresti ca mai aveti nevoie de documente, dar ei nu au putut sa imi spuna de ce documente aveti nevoie.

Dvs. pe de alta parte mi-ati explicat, contrariul, ca nu lipseste nici un document, ci pur si simplu nu au avut timp sa semneze aprobarea. in plus, mi-ati mai explicat ca, candidatura mea a fost una dintre cele care nu au ridicat nici un fel de probleme.

M-ati asigurat ca dosarul meu va fi semnat de dvs. la 12 aprilie.

Astazi suntem in 5 mai si inca nu am primit aprobarea dvs.

Prietenii mei romani cred ca nu a fost semnata.

Mai mult, mi-au spus ca, desi au primit o diploma de la Resolvers, societatea sub a carei egida au fost instruiti, si Baroul Avocatilor din Bucuresti, semnata de decanul Baroului si de mine, acestia nu au fost recunoscuti de dvs./consiliul dvs. ca mediatori certificati.

Pur si simplu nu pot sa cred ca se intampla astfel!

Dvs., desigur, veti intelege ca in absenta unei confirmari din partea dvs. cu privire la acordul meu si la recunoasterea diplomei obtinute de Dna Bustea si Dna Gorghiu (mai ales datorita faptului ca, asa cum stie toata lumea, ambele sunt mediatori si persoane talentate), avem impresia ca suntem discriminati, ceea ce contravine aplicarii regulilor europene.

Stiti cu siguranta ca am dedicat o buna parte din viata si activitatii mele, pro bono, promovarii internationale a mediatorilor: nu doar cu Forumul Mondial al Centrelor de Mediere, al carui presedinte sunt, dar si cu orgnaizatii prestigioase cum ar fi Asociatia Americana de Arbitraj, Institutul Chartered de Arbitraj, Asociatia Barourilor Americane, Guvernul olandez, Camerele de Comert din Franta, Italia, Elvetia si alte tari, ca si Camera de Comert Internationala, doar pentru a numi cateva.

Desi respect dreptul autoritatilor romane de a-si stabili conditiile de acceptare, refuzarea candidaturii mele, ca si nerecunoasterea diplomelor acordate, nu va fi acceptata si ma va obliga sa prezint cazul autoritatilor europene si posibil in tribunal.

Perioada normala pentru luarea unei decizii in cazul meu a expirat de mult. Astazi am inteles, este ziua in care Dna Bustea si Dna Gorghiu ar trebui (sau nu) sa fie recunoscute drept mediatori si deci, posibili candidati pentru a fi alesi in consiliul dvs.

Daca este asa, atunci astazi este ziua in care se vor arunca zarurile.

Acesta este motivul pentru care va prezint situatia dvs., in aceasta dimineata, in speranta ca intre mediatori nu se va crea o situatie litigioasa.

Cred ca aceste probleme sunt suficient de serioase pentru a trimite o copie a acestui mesaj dlui Catalin Predoiu, Ministerul de Justitie in Romania.

Sper ca toate aceste lucruri sunt o serie de dificultati administrative si neintelegeri, care se vor rezolva astazi si ne vom intalni curand intr-o atmosfera prietenoasa, asa cum au fost toate celelalte intalniri ale noastre.

Un salut calduros.

Thierry GARBY

Dear Mrs Ciuca,

When I last had the pleasure of meeting you in Bucharest, we discussed the situation of my file before the Council which has been pending for many months and I have not yet received an answer. I had understood from my Romanian friends that you needed more documents but they were unable to tell me what kind of documents you were requesting. You very kindly explained that, on the contrary, no document was missing but that you simply had not had the time to sign the approval. Moreover you very kindly explained that my candidacy was among those which did not raise any concerns.

You assured me that my file would be signed by you on April 12.

Today is May 5 and I have not yet received your approval. My Romanian friends believe it has not been signed.

Furthermore, they told me that, despite the fact that they had received a diploma from Resolvers, , the company under which I trained them, and the Bucharest Bar association, signed by the Dean of the Bar and me, they were not recognized by you/your council as certified mediators. I simply cannot believe this is so!

Dear Mrs Ciuca, please confirm that they have been misinformed and that everything is in order with our files.

You, of course, will understand that in the absence of your confirmation of my agreement and of the recognition of the diploma obtained by Mrs. Bustea and Mrs. Gorghiu (and particularly because every one knows both of them as exceptionally talented persons and mediators), one would get the feeling that we are being discriminated in violation of all applicable European rules.

You certainly know that I have dedicated a substantial part of my life and activity pro bono to the international promotion of mediation: not only with the World Forum of Mediation Centres over which I preside, but also with such prestigious

organizations as the American Arbitration Association, the Chartered Institute of Arbitration, the American Bar Association, the Netherland Government, the French, Swiss, Italian and other Chambers of Commerce, as well as the International Chamber of Commerce, to name just a few.

Though I sincerely respect the right of the Romanian authorities to establish their acceptance criteria, the refusal of my application, as well as the lack of recognition of the diploma I granted,  would not be acceptable and would compel me to take the case to the European authorities and possibly courts.

The normal period for making a position on my file has elapsed for long. I

understand that today is the day when Mrs. Bustea and Mrs. Gorghiu should (or not)

be recognized as qualified mediators and therefore possible candidates for the election to your council. If so, this is the day when the dice will be cast. This is why I am bringing these questions to you this morning, in the hope that a litigious situation will not be created between mediators

I believe these issues are serious enough to send a copy of this message to Mr.Catalin Predoiu, Minister of Justice of Romania.

I very much hope that all this is only a succession of administrative difficultiesand misunderstandings, that they will be resolved today and that we shall soon meetagain in the friendly atmosphere of all our previous encounters.

With my warmest regards.

Thierry GARBY
