The state budget was adopted with 346 to 49 votes and seven abstentions. Lawmakers debated the bill Tuesday.
Romanian President Traian Basescu told Prime Minister Victor Ponta Tuesday evening he would send back to parliament the 2014 state budget bill to be revised, as he disapproved of increasing excises on fuels.
Basescu said he would propose clear alternatives to raising excise duties on fuels, such as cutting financing for the Ministry of Development.
