Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan stated on Friday that the draft law on magistrates' pensions was sent for review on Thursday to the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM) and, if the opinion is received next week, the Government will initiate the procedure of assuming responsibility for the draft law.
"Yesterday, the Government, through the Ministry of Labour, sent the draft law for review. From the public signals we have observed and the fact that CSM has convened the General Assemblies, it appears likely that we will receive an opinion much sooner than the maximum 30-day term. In these conditions, our plan is that next week, if we receive the opinion, on Thursday during the Government meeting, or Friday at the latest, on 28 November, we will launch the procedure for the Government to assume responsibility for this project," Bolojan explained during a press conference at Victoria Palace.
He added that it was agreed that magistrates pensions will not exceed 70% of the last net salary, and the transition period from retirement at age 48 to 65 has been extended to 15 years, compared with the 10 years initially proposed.
"Considering that last week we had a meeting convened by the President with representatives of magistrates, during which these aspects were discussed, and taking into account the request to extend the transition period beyond the ten years initially planned - that is, the gradual increase of the retirement age from 48 to 65 - we proposed and accepted a 15-year transition period. Therefore, each passing year will extend the active service period by one year. Over 15 years, magistrates will reach the standard retirement age, with each generation working one additional year each year from now on. We accepted this request," the prime minister said.
