Ponta also said Tuesday the impact study related to the planned VAT cut on bread would have to be published as well.
Finance Ministry state secretary Dan Manolescu has recently said that applying a lower sales tax on bread depends on political decisions and talks with officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) who will decide whether or not they support the measure.
Mid-May, Ponta said the government would have to allot 250 million lei (EUR55.2 million) for the project aimed at cutting the sales tax on bread starting July 1. Early this year, he said the project is meant to show if the VAT cut would reduce tax evasion in the bread industry and increase sales. (EUR1=RON4.5225)
