President Traian Basescu said Teodor Melescanu, former director of SIE, refused to communicate if the Government had  covered officers or former covered officers, telling him that this kind of information was  a state secret.

"I’ve opened a formal correspondence with director Meleşcanu and asked him to tell me if there are in the Government covered officers or former covered officers. He said it's a state secret, regardless of the fact that the president has access to any state secrets, " Basescu said.

"My decision to publicly open this topic has been made because a huge precedent has been created now in which the President requires information not   about the operatives  covered list, but about members of the government, and I’ve been  told that they cannot communicate  that to me because it is state secret according to a government decision, " Traian Basescu continued.

The President added that for this reason, he  has never trusted the information received from  the former head  of SIE.

"This thing will remain in the history  of the service. I think this is the first time when Romania’s head of state  requires an information from the intelligence service and the service has and refuses to give it to the president. From that point on  until Meleşcanu left the  service, I've never trusted what he said to me, " Basescu said.
