Incompetence or bad will, which is it,
Mr. Blanculescu?

The pompous initiative of the National Authority for Control (ANC) of drastically sanctioning the tax evasion of over 10.000 Euro is nothing but another nail firmly stuck by Mr. Blanculescu in the coffin of correct functioning rules of market economy in Romania.

Applying such a measure in the Romanian chaos and fiscal legislative confusion only brings the fiscal liberty of almost each Romanian entrepreneur at the fiscal inspectors' mercy. The hallucinant interpretations of the legislation the control groups are often applying are already turning each business person into a permanent possible criminal.

In the Union for the Reconstruction of Romania - URR's vision the first compulsory step towards a clean economy in today's Romania is to make the fiscal regulations lesser and simpler. Next, the second step represents a drastic but equal sanction, for both those that would break these clear and simple regulations and those that would ask for or take bribe in order to "forget" these infractions. To think these steps in the reverse order is just as one would tie the wagon in front of the oxen or just as one would like to legalize a way of pressure and blackmail on all entrepreneurs of Romania. Is it incompetence or bad will?

Before punishing the mistake one should create the good behavior conditions, but this looks like a completely unknown concept to the Nastase government, a government which is more interested in warlike declarations than in a decent behavior.

The Union for the Reconstruction of Romania - URR
