There were 76 deputies present in the hall who voted for, being none who voted against or abstained.
Attending the vote were LDK deputies who also gave the pro vote for the bill.
Parliament Speaker Glauk Konjufca demanded that this bill be reviewed and then brought back to the Assembly on schedule.
Similarly, Finance, Labour and Transfers Minister Iron Murati said today that the draft law on changing and completing the Law on Retirement Plans financed by the state once and for all regulates the issue of pension scheme. According to him, the bill in question removes the injustice that workers have faced since the 1990 ' s who were violently fired from work.
He said that meeting this bill has been a constant requirement of citizens and opposition deputies, but also their electoral promise.
The “is a bill that takes into account the period from the time of the departure or the deployment of violent measures or violent departure from work until January 1st 1999, which is a period for anyone who has left work is known as a stage for the sake of calculating the constitutional fulfillment of the 15-year term, while the preferential contribution scheme that is regulated by this bill and added to the Bazik law then allows those who have contributed to be paid back in the form of years as much as they contributed to the Pensional Fund<1>, he stressed.
Minister Murati also indicated that the annual financial impact with this bill is envisioned to be around 60m euros, but that some 70 thousand pensioners will benefit from the bill.
The “has not been easy, so it has not been possible for volume as a law, as a text, but for the financial impact this bill has per year, so the annual financial impact is projected to be about 60m euros will benefit about 70 thousand pensioners who are expected to be passed from current basic schemes in the scheme of preferential contributions and the cost for the entire life span of the law or approximately 50 years as long as the parameters are made to be 1.3 billion euros>
” I have the pleasure of introducing this bill that once and for all time fixes this issue and removes this injustice and discrimination that has been done to many of the people who have gone away violently and who, because they have gone away violent in the early 1990s have failed to meet the 15-year-long constitutional condition, he added.
Berisha: This bill also hurts workers fired in the 1990s.
MP The PDK, Hisen Berisha, said the draft law on pension schemes has not been brought to the Assembly according to obligations stemming from the Constitutional Court decision.
This is the Constitutional Court decision that you are introducing. This bill also hurts workers fired in the 1990s. Once he recognises only the stall, but not the contributions, such as the case with educational workers of 1990”, he said.
Bajrami: There will still be some kind of discrimination
Critically, LDK MP Hykmete Bajrami also said there are still conditions for those who do not reach a 15-year working experience level.
The “will still remain a kind of discrimination, because it is still a condition that says the amount of the period of contributions paid according to paragraph 2.2 and the period of violent departure under paragraph 2.3 to January 1, 1999 jointly reaches 15 years. What will happen to those who do not reach the level of 15 years”, she said.
Dress: This bill does not meet even Constitutional Court recommendations
AAK deputy Shemsedin Dreshey said on the same line.
“Project-proposation for changing and completing the Law for donating Social schemes is partial and does not even meet the Constitutional Court recommendations. This law, as of special importance, would have to include and remove the discrimination already imposed. Disconnecting the limit in 15 years for contributions that still lies in this draft proposal”, he said.
