Labor Minister Marius Budai told the Chamber of Deputies plenary session on Monday that the draft on special pensions will be sent to the government for approval in a few days, claiming that it meets all the criteria of the PNRR.

In a few days, we will submit it to the Government for consideration,” he said. and to the commission, after which we will submit it to the parliament,” Budai said at the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies “Government Time”, where he answered the parliamentarians of the UDR on the topic of special pensions.

When asked if military pensions remain professional, Budai replied: “My idea was from the beginning, and I said all the time that military pensions are not special pensions, but we will have a final project.

The European Commission expects that “Romania will continue to work on the implementation of the reform” of the state pension system, which “will be evaluated in the context of the future payment requests” of the country under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNNR), the source said. the community’s executive committee said Friday.

Information about the possibility of reducing special pensions and changing the conditions for the retirement of magistrates ignited the judicial system and led to an unprecedented situation in the judiciary: the Section of Judges of the High Council of Magistracy (VCM) at one meeting approved the request for the resignation of 60 magistrates.

The World Bank recommended that the current special pensions should be calculated on the basis of the principle of contributions, so that a new category of special pensions does not appear, and the current ones should be “rationalized” so that the incomes on the basis of which the pension is based should be calculated as the average of the incomes received over more a long period of time, and no special pension should exceed earnings for a period of activity.
