The two acts were approved in a special meeting on Thursday and will be sent to the Parliament.

Prime Minister Emil Boc has said the salary rights won by teachers in court will be paid in installments starting with 2012. The value and payment schedule will be determined once all court rulings are tallied.

Finance Ministry state secretary Gheorghe Gherghina said the raises might entail sacking about 100,000 public sector employees in order to keep the public salary fund unchanged without hiking taxes.
