Flutur added the date was set for September 15 because the school year starts on September 14 and lawmakers might be away to attend school opening ceremonies.

“We have agreed in the coalition that the prime minister will address the Parliament in plenary session on September 15 to assume responsibility for the laws,” Flutur said.

The democrat liberal official added the two chambers of Parliament will set terms for the submission of amendments to the laws.

The three draft laws for whose enactment the government plans to take responsibility reached Parliament Monday morning.

Prime Minister Emil Boc said last week after the Cabinet meeting the government had decided to assume responsibility for the enactment of the laws on education, the unitary pay law regulating wages in the public sector and the reorganization of government agencies and other economic measures targeting public spending cuts.
