Senate Chairman Calin Popescu Tariceanu announced on Tuesday that the combined standing bureaus of the Parliament’s chambers will meet on Saturday to set a timetable for debate and a vote on the budget project in the Parliament.

Political sources also told MEDIAFAX that budget debates in parliamentary committees will last one week, and the final vote will be scheduled for February 9.

For January, public administration had one twelfth of last year’s budget available by default, as a budget for this year was not approved in time to cover expenses.
