Romania could potentially reclaim a portion of lost funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) if it swiftly adopts the unified public sector wage law. This clarification was communicated by the European Commission to Romanian authorities, according to interim Labor Minister Dragoş Pîslaru. The law’s adoption *before* the November evaluation is crucial for regaining some of the grant money currently at risk. The original deadline for the wage law was missed, marking it as an unfulfilled milestone within the PNRR. Successfully implementing the law now could mitigate financial losses. This offers Romania a pathway to partially recover funds otherwise forfeited due to the initial delay. The Commission’s stance provides a key incentive for swift legislative action.
