DISCUSSION AGAIN YIELDS NO CONSENSUS ON PENSION REFORM|藍綠陣營僵持 年金改革"深水區"討論難有共識

The Legislative Yuan held an emergency session to discuss the three most controversial issues in pension reform. As before, no consensus was reached between the two parties. The DPP then advocated direct voting. Currently the DPP caucus supports more severe versions of reform, such as the 18 percent preferential interest rate on savings should revert to zero in two years. In response, the KMT caucus decided to start a level one mobilization order today requiring party legislators to register 30 separate comments in the discussion to prolong it, and promising to boycott right to the end. The opposition caucus has already undertaken five days of discussion on the three most controversial issues of pension reform in the Legislative Yuan. However, no consensus has been reached, particularly on the 18 percent preferential savings, where they want to completely retain the rate. The KMT caucus wanted to reach consensus yesterday and started talks with the DPP again in the afternoon. However, the DPP caucus stuck to its guns, that the 18 percent should go within two years, with a threshold of NT$32,160. However, the DPP has not yet decided whether the final pension would be based on the last five or ten years work. ==LEE JUN-YI DPP legislator== The different opinions including the length of time that the final pension assessment is based on, maternity leave, how much the government will pay and the final assessment base for politicians, all these issues have to be tidied up and within the party there are different opinions. ==TUAN YI-KANG DPP legislator== All reform will be painful, if it's not painful then we wouldn't be doing it, so of course not everyone is going to be happy. The opposition started discussions again in the afternoon. The KMT caucus's attitude was unyielding and said if the DPP was too hard on the public school teachers, the military and civil servants, then it would debate all the articles and possibly boycott all proceedings in the Yuan. ==LIAO KUO-TUNG KMT convenor== (If the DPP persists in steamrollering everything through and doesn't give an inch), then I will just stand in front of it. They can just carry on and see where it gets them. ==HUANG KUO-CHANG New Power Party legislator== If they want real reform we support this, and there needs to be a lower threshold. Legislative Yuan Speaker Su Jia-chuan was exasperated by the KMT attitude and said that since there had been discussion without consensus, then they should just go ahead with procedure. The DPP caucus advocates going directly into the Yuan and voting on the issues. However, after more discussion, the tense atmosphere between opposition and ruling parties subsided somewhat and they again discussed the more controversial areas of reform.
