The autumn parliamentary session will be "rich" in legislative activity
Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Liviu Dragnea said on Friday that the autumn parliamentary session will be "rich" in legislative activity, mentioning to the point the justice legislation, the sovereign development and investment fund, pension legislation and a law on preventive fiscal behaviour.
"We have adopted the composition of the Standing Bureau and there will be an autumn rich in legislative activity, with important laws to be debated and approved in Parliament: a law on public-private partnerships, a law on preventive fiscal behaviour, a law establishing a sovereign development and investment fund, justice legislation, as well as other laws on which both the governing coalition and the government are working. The public pension law is particularly important," Dragnea said at Parliament Palace.
He said other legislative priorities would be discussed at the meetings of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), major at rule, to be held in Constanta this weekend.
"We will be discussing other legislative priorities this weekend with our party colleagues and our colleagues from the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), and we are starting the legislative programme this month," added Dragnea.
The PSD leader pointed out that these meetings will also address the establishment of a National Wiretapping Authority proposed by ALDE national leader Calin Popescu Tariceanu.
"We will discuss this proposal at the weekend; I will discuss it with my party colleagues. I do not automatically oppose anything, we will see what the details are; the idea does not seem wrong to me, we will discuss the details of this legislative initiative because it is not some unimportant initiative, and we will see if their sponsors have thought out the whole architecture," added Dragnea.
He said that at the weekend meetings, the Government will present its views on pillar II pensions, excise duties, dividend tax and other governmental measures. "We have agreed that the subject will be discussed this weekend at the meeting of the Government, CExN [PSD's National Executive Committee] and the parliamentary groups... (...) And I and my colleagues are looking forward to the Government telling us what their opinion is," added Dragnea.
