The value of the „N” factor of 1.36 shows that a person who receives, from at least three different insurers, offers whose RCA insurance premiums are 36% higher than the reference tariff corresponding to the risk segment they are part of, then, the respective person is included in the tier of high-risk insured and they may ask BAAR for an offer for closing a RCA contract.

PM Tudose Says Planned Fuel Excise Hikes Won’t Raise Gasoline And Diesel Oil Prices
Prime Minister Mihai Tudose said the planned increase in fuel excise duties will not raise prices of gasoline and diesel oil.
Tudose said talks with representatives of companies selling gasoline and diesel oil are underway so that consumers will not be affected, adding the introduction of excise duties is necessary for major infrastructure works.
Excise duties on fuels could be increased, according to a draft amending Romania’s Tax Code, published by the Finance Ministry which says the current excise duties in Romania are very close to the minimum limit stipulated by the European Union legislation.
Transporters in Romania said they will raise tariffs for cargo and passenger transport, will no longer fill their tanks in Romania and may resort to street protests after the government announced plans to raise fuel excises. (cotidianul.ro)
