"We shall look into the car tax issue in January, see what measures must be taken and then make a decision in this respect. I honestly think that the ordinance tripling the pollution tax must be suspended and reconsidered," said Nemirschi.

Nemirschi stressed it would be very difficult to make a decision on the matter.

The minister also highlighted he would carry on the “Junk Car" program targeting to renew the country’s car fleet, as well as the “Green House” program, allowing private individuals to get financing and upgrade their heating systems, arguing it all depends on the state budget.
