Romanian Interior Ministry Layoffs To Start In About 30 Days - Minister

The minister said he hopes the institution's organizational chart will be analyzed and revised by Friday.

Igas highlighted that, considering the budget allotted to the institution for 2011, the ministry must be restructured. He added the reorganization process was hindered as the ministry's layoff bill did not pass the Parliament last month.

Addressing the issue regarding the ministry's decision to reduce employees' food benefits to 130 lei (about EUR30) from RON720, Igas said the measure will apply only in June and employees will recover the entire sum.

Ministry spokesman Marius Militaru told MEDIAFX earlier Thursday the measure was taken as the ministry had to stay within the budget allotted for the first half of the year.

The institution's budget for 2011 amounts to about EUR1.7 billion, or 1.38% of the gross domestic product. It states 18,000 ministry employees will be laid off this year in two stages. (EUR1=RON4.1342)
