The Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) decided on Friday that the law regarding the removal of some fees and taxes, as well as making amendments and additions to some bills is constitutional, after the Court rejected the notification of President Klaus Iohannis.
CCR President Valer Dorneanu explained that all the critics brought to the law don't have a constitutional ground. "We ruled in the sense of rejecting the notification as being ungrounded, arguing that all the critics that were formulated don't have a constitutional ground in an article, that can make us justify admitting this notification. It is constitutional," the CCR President stated.
He added that the majority of reasons invoked in the notification practically aimed at the substance and the justification of cutting taxes, underlining that the Constitutional Court hasn't the competence to establish what taxes are or are not valid.
According to Dorneanu, it has also been taken into account the fact that the draft law was carried out in emergency parliamentary proceeding, which would justify, in a way, the shortening of some deadlines or passing over others.
In respect to the critics according to which the Government wouldn't have been consulted, Dorneanu mentioned that it is placed under parliamentary supervision.
The Constitutional Court solution was pronounced with majority of votes.
The decision is final and generally binding.
President Klaus Iohannis sent to the Court, a month ago, a notification of unconstitutionality regarding this law.
