PM: Measures against crisis must be applied as of Januay 1

The drafts must be discussed during the Government meeting this week, so they can be applied as of January 1, 2009, Tariceanu said, prior to a meeting with several ministers involved in the fight against the crisis. 

Last week, the government drafted a plan aimed to cope with the crisis impact. The plan includes the allocation of €10 billion in the next four years for investments in the economy, the reduction by 10 percentage points of the social contributions for employees and €220 million for social housing.
