In the week when the budget law - the most important piece oflegislation in a fiscal year - should already be under debate inParliament, nobody seems to know what the law looks like. TheFinance Ministry says it is ready, but refrains from giving toomany details, the premier's advisers cannot divulge the content ofthe law, but everybody makes reference to the fiscal-budgetarystrategy for 2011-2013, which the Fiscal Council has criticised,and which trade unions say has already been withdrawn because, asPremier Emil Boc had allegedly explained, was just a mere workingdraft.
Official statements are contradictory.
"The state budget law and the social security law for 2011 will besent to Parliament within the legal deadline, i.e. this week," saysFinance Ministry state secretary Gheorghe Gherghina. "The lawcannot be passed as long as the trade unions and the Governmentfail to reach an agreement on the minimum wage. We don't know whenthe law will be approved by the Government," says AndreeaPaul-Voss, advisor of Prime Minister Emil Boc. "The budgetparameters are set, they are those provided for in thefiscal-budgetary strategy for 2011-2013," says Gherghina, who hasbeen in charge of drawing up of the budget law for years. No, Vasssays: Any modification of the minimum wage leads to themodification of many other indicators. "The budget law is almostready," Gherghina says. "We don't know what the budget law lookslike," Vass says.
