European projects minister Dragoș Pîslaru stated on Thursday, February 5, that Romania will lose EUR 231 million part of the EU-backed Recovery and Resilience Funds (or PNRR) because it did not implement the reform of magistrates’ pensions on time. A decision on this initiative has been repeatedly postponed by the Constitutional Court (CCR).
Romania was supposed to adopt this project by November 28, 2025, to be certain not to lose the money, but there would still have been time to implement this reform until the European Commission issued an official response. However, the Constitutional Court repeatedly delayed government projects to reform magistrates’ pensions.
