emission

The tax on vehicle exhaust emissions paid by Romanians when first registering a car is 14.2% higher as of January 1, owing to a different RON-EUR exchange rate set by the European Central Bank: RON4.26 to a euro, compared to RON3.73 to a euro in 2009.

East European states will receive 10% of the value of the carbon emission permits and will benefit from new talks on certain parameters regarding greenhouse gas effects until 2016, Romanian Prime Minister Calin Tariceanu said Saturday in Gdansk, Poland.
