ALDE Head Agrees With Joint PSD-ALDE Presidential Candidate
Senate Chairman and ALDE head Calin Popescu Tariceanu told an interview for Romania TV on Sunday that one must analyse whether a joint PSD – ALDE candidate in this year’s presidential election would be more appropriate than two different candidates for the two parties.
Tariceanu also said an official statement on the matter will be made after consultations between the two parties.
In November 2018, Tariceanu said the best time to nominate a presidential candidate will be the beginning of 2019, ahead of the European Parliament elections.
End-December 2018, social democrat party (PSD) leader Liviu Dragnea said he does not rule out coalition party leader Tariceanu running for president on behalf of the ruling coalition. (romanialibera.ro)

The national tax agency ANAF will “focus” in 2019 on large taxpayers and multinationals, Finance minister Eugen Teodorovici said Sunday evening in an interview for cable news network Antena 3.
ANAF must focus on companies that resort to fiscal optimizations in order to reduce taxes paid to the state budget, the minister also said.
The minster pointed out that every penny must get to the state budget correctly, without imposing any taxes, adding ANAF and the Court of Accounts are the two institutions that must be the directions of the economy.
Teodorovici also said ANAF will sell online the goods seized and the market will decide their price, adding ANAF could forgo assessments. (romanialibera.ro)
