Parliament likely to postpone adoption of 2012 budgets
The lawmakers may put off the adoption of the budgetary-fiscal policy in second reading, the leaders of the Alliance for European Integration announced Wednesday, after the meeting of the AEI Council. But the parliamentary majority is determined to adopt the given package of laws by the end of this year, Info-Prim Neo reports.
The parliamentary commissions will discuss the draft budgetary-fiscal policy document on Thursday morning and decide if it will be examined in Parliament the same day or on Friday.
The draft budget laws will be passed in first reading the day the budgetary-fiscal policy will be adopted, said Speaker Marian Lupu. He also said that next week the legislature will have two additional sittings, on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the budgets and a series of bills needed in the dialogue with the EU will be adopted in final reading by the end of the week.
The head of the Liberal parliamentary group Ion Hadirca said that most of the proposals formulated by the Liberal MPs were accepted and voiced hope that the bills will be passed on time.
Last week, the legislature passed the budgetary-fiscal policy in first reading and was to adopt it in second reading on Thursday and to start examining the 2012 draft budget laws.
