Bills – The Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest on Tuesday passed a bill on raising the ceiling for the pension tax relief to the equivalent of 600 euros, so pensioners who received higher sums after recalculation are not to lose any money by exceeding the previous threshold of 400 euros. Another bill passed by deputies as part of an emergency procedure related to the donation by Romania of a Patriot ground-to-air missile system to neighbouring Ukraine. The only party to oppose this latter bill was the nationalist Alliance for the Union of Romanians, in opposition.
