Asked if a cancellation or revision of the amount of the Rabla program are taken into account to lower the budget deficit, Mircea Fechet replied: “The fact that we will not consume the money from the sale of greenhouse gas certificates would not necessarily have an impact on the deficit, because that money, I repeat, come from the selling of those certificates and I can use those money Romanians Life a little easier, whether we are discussing photovoltaic panels, whether we are discussing the Rabla program, which you mentioned earlier, or many other programs that the Environment Fund Administration manages ”.
“If we have to reduce the expenses, and we will certainly have to reduce the expenses, I think this must happen in relation to that operating money, with the operating expenses, with the bonuses, with the first, with the boards of directors, with the retirement premiums, with the bonus for the management, the only one, Finance so expected by Romanians ”, continued the interim minister of the environment.
A document published on Wednesday by the European Commission shows that Romania continues to face excessive imbalances, because its tax and current account deficits have increased, and the cost competitiveness was damaged in 2024.
