"The Finance Ministry is in charge with preparing, by September 1, a new set of proposals on merging, reducing and simplifying the rest of the duties that are still in force for the moment. They can be further merged," Boc stated Wednesday evening at the national TV station.

Boc said earlier Wednesday the government cut the number of parafiscal duties and fees from 491 to around 300.

Of the total 189 duties, 42 were canceled, while the others were merged or reduced, Boc said.

The first phase of the process was approved in Sunday’s government meeting, when 102 levies were eliminated, grouped or cut.

In April, the Finance Minister Gheorghe Pogea said the government will cancel 36 parafiscal duties and fees and will group another 143, as part of a government plan to counter the effects of the economic crisis.
