Ponta said the amendment will be included in a bill under debates at the Chamber of Deputies.
Special pensions for former military staff and police officers had been reduced through recalculation and pensioners were forced to return part of the amounts cashed in 2011.
In November 2011, Romania’s Fiscal Council said recalculating special pensions for 159.000 retired military staff and police officers increased pension expenses by about 1 billion lei (EUR224,134) per year.
The Council also said at the time that following recalculation, average monthly special pension increased from RON1,755 (the level used to set the social security budget for 2011) to RON2,289 in 2012 (which translates into an average increase of 30.4%). (EUR1=RON4.4616)
