Anamaria Gavrila, Senior Associate at Dragne & Asociatii, was quoted by Business 24 on the subject of the “environmental stamp“. She also commented on the possibilities to sue the state’s authorities and the chances of success.
Anamaria Gavrila, who is specialized in environmental law, stated that the new tax seems to violate the free circulation of goods in the European Union, and the “polluter pays” principle of law. She showed that the buyer of the car has to pay the tax, and not the seller, who has been responsible for polluting, and also that the tax is lower for more polluting cars that use old technologies.
