Government Decision 827/02 October 2025 on Action Plan Correlated with Transposition Deadlines
The Government of Romania adopted Government Decision 827 of 2 October 2025 pursuant to protocol of the Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity in the Official Gazette Portal under MMFTSS reference. The decision establishes an Action Plan for reinforcing information and administrative data on compliance with the principle of equal pay between women and men as part of preparing for transposition articles 11, 13, 28 and 29 of Directive (EU) 2023/970. It assigns responsibility to the National Strategy and Forecast Commission, the National Statistical Institute and other public bodies for developing monitoring instruments, analytical tools and open data platforms by 2030. The next milestone is the first annual monitoring report due by 31 March 2026 to assess institutional readiness for full legislative transposition.
As of early 2026, Romania has not made an official announcement regarding legislative developments related to pay transparency. However, various stakeholders suggest that significant legislative actions could be imminent, with expectations for the release of draft legislation in the near future. There is general agreement among several sources that Romania has developed a draft of legislation focused on pay transparency. Important stakeholders, such as trade unions and representatives from the business community, received a revised draft of this legislation on March 30, 2026, indicating progress towards compliance with relevant directives. Despite the overall acknowledgment of the draft legislation's advancement, differing opinions exist regarding its timeline and the extent to which the public has been involved in the legislative process. Some sources highlight a lack of official communications and minimal public engagement, contrasting with other assessments that suggest that the legislative progress is on schedule.
