Romanian Govt To Extend Military Pension Recalculation Deadline Until Yearend

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 High Court of Justice's decision is definitive and upholds a decision ruled by the Cluj Court of Appeals on September 28, 2010. Requests to have the Government decision suspended were also submitted with the Bucharest Court of Appeals, which ruled in favor of the requests on December 6, 2010.
