The interim president of the Chamber of Deputies, Alfred Simonis, on Saturday stated that the new form of the law on special pensions, the one including the amendments requested by the Constitutional Court, should be adopted by the end of September.
He also mentioned that special pensions will be taxed "by 15-20-25%."
"They must be taxed and if we cannot eliminate them, as I would like, and possibly establish a principle and some very clear gradations for each individual professional category, at least tax them, reduce them, because pensions of the type I saw in the public system of RON 30,000, 40,000, 70,000, are absurd, and have nothing to do with the contributiveness principle," said the interim president of the Chamber of Deputies.
Alfred Simonis stated that the MPs are now waiting for an analysis from the Government to decide what will be the maximum amount up to which a special pension can go.
