PRESS RELEASE
Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu chaired today the meeting of the National Tripartite Council for Social Dialogue that addressed several issues that are under the focus of the Government, trade unions, and employers.
We are preparing the budget for next year, on which we will consult with the social partners. I want to be very clear: in 2024 we will not increase taxes and will not introduce new taxes that will burden Romanians and the business sector. We are looking for solutions to reduce labor taxation and continue to increase budget revenues by combating evasion and through better collection, including improving management at the National Authority for Fiscal Administration and Customs. We are taking all steps at the government level to start the year 2024 with the adopted budget, to have the predictability necessary for the business sector, stated Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu.
The consultations with the social partners, within the Tripartite National Council for Social Dialogue, will also continue regarding the level of the minimum wage per country guaranteed in payment. The government will decide on the minimum salary only after it is agreed with the social partners, the Head of the Executive pointed out.
At today's meeting with the trade unions and employers associations, other topics of interest were also discussed, such as the workforce provision, the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, and the dialogue with the European Commission representatives. The Minister of Labor and Social Solidarity's decision on establishing the collective bargaining sectors was also discussed in the first reading and the Regulation on collaboration within the Tripartite National Council for Social Dialogue was analyzed, under the new Social Dialogue Law.
