Child allowances cannot be doubled overnight, because there are no budget funds earmarked for this, therefore the measure will most likely be implemented after the July 2020 budget adjustment, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Violeta Alexandru said on Tuesday.
The Labor Minister's comment came shortly after the promulgation, today, by President Iohannis, of the law that doubles the child allowance.
Premier Ludovic Orban announced on Friday that the term for the law's coming into force will most probably be moved back.
