The alcohol used to manufacture disinfectants will no longer be exempted from excise duties, Prime Minister Ion Chicu was quoted by IPN as saying after the meeting of the Commission for Exceptional Situations.

Premier Chicu said the problem was solved and there are enough quantities of disinfectants on the market. “We have received requests to exempt quantities larger than 300 tonnes from excise duties. This is an extremity and exaggeration. Surely the state cannot fall into such traps and we annulled this exemption as of today,” he stated.

The official also said that the Commission for Exceptional Situations took a decision that bans the hairdressing and beautification services during the state of emergency.
