Differentiated share capital for companies
After the Minister of Finance, Alexandru Nazare, had announced a minimum share capital of 8,000 lei for the establishment of a SRL, the coalition decided a differentiated variant:
- 500 lei for companies with a turnover of maximum 400,000 lei;
- 5,000 lei for companies with a turnover of up to 7 million lei;
- 90,000 lei for companies with a turnover of over 7 million lei.
New rules for CASS and health funding
Another important point aimed at paying CASS for those who obtain income from independent activities. The Ministry of Finance had proposed the increase of the calculation base to 90 minimum wages, but the coalition decided that it would be 72 minimum wages per year, more than the current level (60), but less than the initial proposal.

The pensions of the magistrates
Another sensitive subject was that of the pensions of the magistrates, after the government wants to increase the retirement age at 65. Currently, magistrates retire at about 47 years old.
According to sources, the coalition discussed the introduction of a ten -year transition period to reach the new retirement age. The Ministry of Labor is to write the final version of the project and request the opinion of the Superior Council of Magistracy, although the SCM is firmly opposed to the reform.
In the coalition it was discussed that if the SCM refused to issue an opinion, this gesture could be cataloged as “Cunfaithful human report, bad faith and violation of the Constitution ”.
Disputes on GEO 109 and other sensitive topics
The negotiations also reached another conflict point: the modification of GEO 109 on corporate governance. USR wants to change the rules so that governments can more easily replace the management of state -owned companies, but PSD refuses to accept changes.
It was also discussed about the passing of social workers under the subordination of the Ministry of Labor, but it was not a conclusion. The organization of the partial elections and the appointment of the prefects in the territory will be resumed after committing the Government’s liability in the Parliament.
The same source states that the PSD has requested a new coalition session on Tuesday, to analyze the measures targeting the local administration, including the investments through the PNRR and the “Anghel Saligny” program.
Two package of fiscal measures – the main provisions
Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan wants that by the end of the week the Government will take responsibility in the Parliament for the second package of austerity measures, which provides, among others:
- prohibition of the cumulation of the pension with the salary for all budgets, including doctors and teachers;
- limiting the special pensions of the magistrates to a maximum of 70% of the net income, with the increase of the retirement age to 65;
- Tax increases: the properties will be taxed at the market value, and the unpaid fines will be increased by 30% every three months.
