The Superior Council of the Magistracy has rejected the proposal to change the retirement conditions for magistrates as unjustified and harmful to the judicial system

The SJC has given a negative opinion on a draft law changing the retirement conditions for magistrates, arguing that there is no legal justification and that the changes could undermine the functioning of the judicial system. The proposed changes, including raising the retirement age and reducing the amount of pension, would affect human resources in the judiciary and discriminate between magistrates. The SCM emphasizes that any regulatory intervention should respect the principle of legislative stability and be in line with Romania's commitments to the European Commission.
