The Cabinet didn’t support the legislative initiative that allows to import motor vehicles of the 8702 tariff position older than ten years into Moldova, IPN reports.

Under the rejected bill, the highest age of vehicles with over 20 seats that could be imported into Moldova will be extended from 10 to 15 years, as will be the age of engines and coachwork. The highest age of vehicles with at most 20 seats will be extended from seven to 11 years.

The executive argued that its intention is to reduce polluting vehicle exhaust emissions and to protect the environment and the people.
