„De ce ar trebui să beneficieze de acciză redusă cineva care conduce un SUV?” Subvenția la motorină, criticată de un expert în energie

The Romanian Chamber of Deputies approved a law to temporarily reduce fuel excise taxes amid a crisis, but experts argue it may not effectively address the underlying issues. Corina Murafă, an energy policy expert, criticizes the measure for encouraging fuel consumption without targeting vulnerable sectors. She suggests that support should focus on transport sectors directly affected by rising fuel costs, rather than providing blanket reductions. Murafă also highlights the need for Romania to stimulate public transport instead of subsidizing fossil fuels, especially during peak travel seasons. The law allows for a gradual reduction of excise taxes based on market conditions.
