Social democrat lawmaker Mircea Dusa told a news conference the no-confidence motion targets both the vote of confidence procedure and the amendments to labor laws approved by the Government.

The no-confidence motion is endorsed by 210 MPs of the opposition Social Liberal Union (a political alliance made up of social democrats, liberals and conservatives).

Romanian Chamber of Deputies Speaker Roberta Anastase said earlier Tuesday the opposition's no-confidence motion will be read out in plenary session Wednesday.

"The motion will likely be put to the vote next Wednesday, March 16," she said.

On Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Emil Boc asked for lawmakers' confidence vote to pass the new labor laws, which, he said, make the local labor market more flexible and serve the interests of people willing to work.
