Thus, the government wrote off an interdiction enforced during the past four years, official sources said citing an emergency ordinance draft approved in Wednesday’s government session.
Also, the threshold for the public acquisitions without auction will be doubled as of January 2013, to EUR30,000.
There are exempted from this ordinance the institutions in the defense, public order and national security, which could buy vehicles with a capacity higher than 1,600 cubic centimeters and over EUR18,000, including VAT.
Contacted by MEDIAFAX, the secretary of state with the Finance Ministry Liviu Voinea explained the budget of the institutions will not increase as a result of these acquisitions.
