The Ministry of Public Finances (MFP) is to establish the minimum price of cigarettes after discussions with Competition Council representatives, the MFP minister Sebastian Vladescu has stated. The latest version of the Fiscal Code modifications has established that the retail cigarette price established by producers will not be less than 90% of the price of the best sold brand. The Competition Council considers this rule to be anti -competitive. "There is a discussion going on between us and the Competition Council through which we will define the exact position of the parties," stated Vladescu.
