Romanian Police Wages To Be Cut By 30% If Layoff Program Dropped

The bill on layoffs in the Interior Ministry received too few votes in the Chamber of Deputies last week and did not pass, to the satisfaction of the union members watching the meeting, who cheered and applauded.

The bill received 150 votes for, 132 against and eight abstentions. It needed 167 votes in favor to pass. Previously, the bill was rejected by the Senate.

Prime Minister Emil Boc called on Igas last week to come up with other solutions to restructure the ministry.

The institution's budget for 2011 amounts to about EUR1.7 billion, or 1.38% of the gross domestic product. It states 18,000 ministry employees will be laid off this year in two stages.
