Geoana said the cancellation of the first registration tax for cars proposed  by the President and the Prime Minister is, in the short run, “a commonsensical  measure.”
 
He added that, during the crisis, local and central authorities should  purchase, within the boundaries of the law, only locally produced cars,  including from Ford, if the American company makes cars in Craiova.
 
On Monday, Tariceanu said the Government decided to suspend the car tax for  the acquisition of new vehicles for three to six months, to protect the local  auto industry.
