Țigările și vape-urile ar putea costa mai mult: noile taxe negociate de UE și impactul pentru România

The European Commission is proposing significant tax increases on tobacco products, including cigarettes and e-cigarettes, as part of a comprehensive reform. This initiative aims to update the current tax framework to include new products and set minimum excise levels across the EU. Negotiations are ongoing within the EU Council, with member states discussing various proposals and transition periods. The Parliament previously rejected the initial proposal, but the final decision rests with the Council, requiring unanimous agreement from all member states. Romania is among the countries that may face substantial tax increases.
