Prime Minister Marcel Cholaku said on Friday that there are exceptions to the Fiscal Code for about 74 billion, which is completely abnormal, and that the Ministry of Finance is currently conducting an analysis. “Yes, I think that some exceptions will have to be made in the future, it doesn’t mean that according to our previous analysis we will go to IT exceptions at the moment,” Čolaku told me, as quoted by News.ro.

• “We must return to an equal competitive climate in Romania. The period of exceptions after exceptions has ended,” the head of the executive branch also noted.

The Prime Minister noted that an analysis is currently being conducted at the Ministry of Finance, but they will not make any decision until they have spoken with all the actors involved.

• “PNRR foresees that we start removing exceptions. Yes, I think there will need to be some exceptions in the future, it doesn’t mean that based on our previous analysis, we’re going to move to IT exceptions now. For almost 20 years, there have been exceptions, as far as I know, and they have brought something useful, an important hub in Romania, this exception,” Ciolacu said.

The Prime Minister clarified that “there are exceptions to the Fiscal Code for approximately 74 billion.”

• “This is an absolutely abnormal thing and a recommendation of all international financial institutions. In other words, we must return to an equal competitive climate in Romania. The period of exceptions after exceptions has ended,” the head of the executive power noted.

“We will not make any decisions, we have international recommendations, an analysis is currently being conducted in the Ministry of Finance, but we will not make any decisions until we talk with all the involved entities,” the prime minister emphasized.
