The speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Marcel Ciolacu, declared on Thursday that things regarding payment request number 2 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan "have passed a critical moment" and the Romanian authorities "received signals" from the European Commission that this request is accepted.
He added that the World Bank's report on the draft law on special pensions has reached the Government, it will be analyzed and the necessary amendments will be made in the Parliament.
"I repeat, military pensions are occupational pensions, they are not special pensions. All over the world, in all our NATO partners's countries, military pensions are not considered special pensions. It is currently a law in Parliament, it was stopped from the legislative circuit, we all waited to see the World Bank's report. We are going to do an analysis of the (WB, ed. n.) report, it is necessary to discuss in the parliamentary committee to make the necessary amendments," Ciolacu stated.
