Action plan on deficit reduction agreement with European Commission not to include new taxes (Ciolacu)

Published on

Prime minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Thursday that the action plan to be presented to the European Commission next month, with a view to negotiating a seven-year agreement to reduce the deficit, will not include new taxes, adding that the final form of the document has not yet been presented to the coalition.

„The whole plan has not yet been presented to the coalition. This is what we decided, that we will present it to the coalition. (…) There will be no new taxes. Anyway, we can see the increased efficiency of ANAF [the National Tax Administration Agency], we will continue with digitalization. I know that there was a major disturbance, we have to shut down the Cargo Radar [RO e-Transport, editor’s note], change the digitalization system in border crossing points, as well. We signed the dedicated cloud yesterday at the Government, which will be implemented for a year,” said Marcel Ciolacu, when asked about the action plan that the Finance minister will take to Brussels.

He emphasized that it is very important for Romania to have a seven-year plan, since in the following years, 2025 and 2026, „there will be the biggest investments”.

„As long as the current rate of investment is maintained, and I am happy to announce that we have reached 80 billion in investments this year, an all-time record, much higher than last year, the Commission has nothing against it, because an investment such as the Moldova Motorway multiplies eight times. In other words, every euro invested in the Moldova Motorway will multiply in the national economy, but especially in the local economies, eight times, eight euros for every euro invested,” Ciolacu explained.

The head of the Executive made the statements at the end of the visit he conducted on Thursday, together with the minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Sorin Grindeanu, on the A7 (Moldova) Motorway, Buzau-Focsani section, to check the work progress.
