Romanian Govt To Seek Confidence Vote On Public Sector Wage Bills On December 14

Chelaru said lawmakers have until December 10 to submit amendments to the two bills.

Prime Minister Emil Boc said wages in the public sector are to increase 15% next year and the minimum wage would be increased to 670 lei (EUR1=RON4.2956) from the current RON600.

The Government may seek a confidence vote before the assembled Chamber of Deputies and Senate on a program, a declaration of general policy or a bill. The Executive is dismissed if the Parliament adopts a motion of no-confidence, filed within three days of its appearance.
