Mocanu said upcoming talks with Finance Ministry officials would focus on reaching common ground with respect to proposals forwarded by ministries, in order to get a clear picture on the matter.

He also said the unitary and single pay law targets 1,380,000 state employees, adding there are nearly 250 levels of classification in this respect; therefore, this draft law cannot be applied from one day to another or from one week to another.
