President Nicușor Dan has enacted a law exempting traditional alcoholic beverages produced at home from excise duties, up to 200 liters annually, provided they are not for sale. This decision follows Parliament's rejection of the president's request for reconsideration regarding the law's introduction into the fiscal code. The amendment aims to support Romania's significant plum production, with nearly 80% of the harvest used for distillation. The law also clarifies that the exemption does not apply to all homemade alcohol but specifically to traditional beverages. Concerns were raised about potential infringement procedures due to the law's implications on EU regulations.
