Polish parlt passes bills reforming pension system

Besieged by unionists and torn by disputes Poland's Sejm (lower house of parliament) on Friday approved a bill that increases retirement age of men and women to 67 and a bill reforming the pension system for uniformed services. Target retirement age of 67 will be reached by 2020 for men and by 2040 for women. A bill reforming the pension system of the uniformed services increases the time of service required for retirement to 25 years from the current 15 years. Eligible to receive a pension will be those who reached the age of 55.
