Romanian Govt To Approve Emergency Decree On Military Pensions Friday

Government spokeswoman Ioana Muntean old MEDIAFAX Wednesday evening the Government would draft and approve an emergency decree on the recalculation of military pensions by February 1, when the Parliament resumes works.

Romanian President Traian Basescu said Sunday evening the Supreme Court's ruling on military pensions must be observed and the recalculation process is suspended. The president also said the Government will issue an emergency decree extending the recalculation deadline until the end of 2011.

On January 7, the Romanian High Court of Justice ruled to suspend the application of a Government decision on recalculating the pensions of military staff, police officers and public servants with special status, who work in penitentiary administration.

The recalculation process will be extended until the end of the year and institutions in the defense system have until end-October to send affidavits to pension houses regarding income gained by retired employees, according to the draft decree.
