The trade unions representatives said the discussion with Pavel Filip had been constructive. "We debated problems about which we are concerned.

According to Prime Minister-designate Pavel Filip, all proposals made by the trade unions' representatives must be systematised. "I thank Mr. Budza for accepting to come to the today's meeting. We ruled that the trade unions will take part in the four working groups on developing the government's action programme, so that the problems be settled. In this respect, these groups are to work concomitantly starting from today already, in order to complete and revise the government's action programme in the social, economic, political and juridical sectors," Filip said.

On 19 January, the prime minister-designate is to meet representatives of the National Employers' Confederation.
