Recalling that the CSS was the only state entity to have the prerogative to foster consensus among the different protagonists, he welcomed the work that the members of the Council are carrying out. He promised that the Council's report (late), with minimum wage proposals for the different sectors of activity, will be submitted to the Executive in early July. He assured that there will be a balanced arbitration by the Executive and the Prime Minister, for a satisfactory decision by all parties, stressing that macroeconomic index experts, entrepreneurs and economists have been and are still being consulted, to document the arguments of these proposals.
