Loading ...Liberal Eugen Nicolaescu was the first who opened the criticism series, blaming the fact that in a period of crisis the budget provides an increase in personnel spending, but cuts investments. “I believed that we all wished a more serious year 2010 from the standpoint of the non- economically oriented spending as against 2009. Despite that, we assess that we have an increase of 10.3 percent at personnel spending chapter.
Here, an explanation is needed. If we continue this line, cutting irrelevant spending from the economic point of view, we should increase investment spending, a normal move in a period when we hope to boost the economy growth and create jobs. But, unfortunately, investments drop by 10.68 percent in 2010 on 2009”, said Eugen Nicolaescu.
On the other hand, Democrat Liberal Party (PD-L, at rule) MPs Petru Calian and Gheorghe Ialomitianu pointed out that the draft budget is a balanced one, maintaining that in order to leave the crisis behind, the lawmakers should agree with the limits established by the Government in the budget draft, in order to “foster macro-economic and social stability”.
Calian told the lawmakers who adopted amendments related to the pension point rise, in the committees, that the financial effort supposed by such a measure would exceed one billion euros, underlining that if accepted all those amendments, the budget deficit could climb to 8 percent.
