Trade unions: IMF does not request Labour Code changes nor flat tax introduction

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has never requested the Romanian Government to revise the Labour Code, but to establish a normal economic development and an increase in the state budget revenues. Moreover, the IMF has not demanded the flat tax to be introduced and has voiced approval that the wage tax system leads towards a budgetary deficit that needs to be covered afterwards through other changes, leader of the Cartel Alfa union Bogdan Hossu stated after the six hour-long marathon meeting on Wednesday. 'Romania does not need this crisis situation to be increased by a social conflict,' Hossu also said after the meeting attended by the trade unions and employers representatives, the Government officials, the IMF, the European Commission, the World Bank and the International Labour Organization officials. From the trade unions' point of view, the priority is the legislative development of the current Labour Code, which 'has been stopped by the social laws adoption (referring to the work conflict, to the collective labour contract of both trade unions and employers) for seven years already', he said. 

Ryder (ILO): It would be regrettable if gov't didn't wait for Labour Code consensual solution

It would be regrettable if it were proved it is impossible to reach a consensus-based solution with respect to the Labour Code and if the Romanian Government decided to unilaterally act by the legislation, International Labour Organization (ILO) deputy director general Guy Ryder said here on Wednesday. The ILO official, who attended the talks among the Romanian employers, trade unions, the Labour Ministry officials, the IMF and World Bank officials stressed dialogue is very important and added he hoped the negotiation process will be left to continue, that it will be possible to find consensus among the Government, the unions and employers. A consensus-based solution, one backed by all sides is much more worthy than imposing a solution, he added. According to Agerpres, a final version of the Labour code will be ready in the period ahead and the social harmony sought for by the unions will be established, said Labour Minister Ioan Botis, who also attended the talks.He underscored he is constantly open to the talks related to the Labour Code and said he is convinced 'we'll succeed in putting forward to the Government a genuine Labour Code accepted by all social players'.
