Parliamentary Committee Discusses Bill to Regulate Debts to Social Insurance Fund

The discussion of a bill concerning the regulation of debts to the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) began in the House Labor Committee. The bill provides for the repayment of debts in installments not exceeding 48. Members of Parliament submitted proposals to increase the number of installments, with some proposing up to 120 installments. The proposals vary depending on the amount of the debt, with some relating to debts exceeding €50,000 or €30,000. MPs expressed the view that the plan does not fully meet the needs of debtors and called for the reinstatement of a discount on surcharges. The bill allows debtors to settle their debts and the Attorney General to withdraw court decisions.
