Purpose of the request
обявяване противоконституционност на 167; 6, т.18, б. “а” и “б” от Преходните и заключителните разпоредби на Закона за бюджета на държавното обществено осигуряване за 2012 г.
Resolution - 10
The prescriptions of § 6, item 18, littera “a” and littera “b” of the Transitional and Concluding Provisions of the 2012 Public Social Security Budget Act that amend para 1 and para 2 of Art. 68 of the Social Insurance Code and provide for a higher retirement age are not anticonstitutional. They are not in contravention of Art. 51, para 1 of the Constitution which proclaims the civil right to social insurance. This right and the respective responsibility of the State to enable it to materialize is translated in reality by the measures that the State takes to ensure the financial stability of the insurance system as the retirement age goes up step by step to parry the adverse demographic developments in the country. An older retirement age is not discordant with the international treaties to which Bulgaria is a signatory and is consistent with the minimum standards of social security that are set out by Art. 26, para 2 of Convention No. 102 adopted by the International Labor Organization in 1954.
