Romania boasts one of the highest income inequality rates in the European Union; 20% of the Romanians with the highest incomes, earns eight times more than those 20% with the lowest incomes, and this is all down to taxation, the European official has explained. According to Dombrovskis, Brussels\u2019 advice is to reduce income taxes particularly in the case of low-paid jobs, whereas taxes on consumption, property and other sectors should be raised. The EU official has made this statement at a conference on \u2018Growth favouring Social Inclusions &#8212; challenges and opportunities\u2019, staged by the representation of the European Commission in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>COMMEMORATION <\/strong>On October 30th Bucharest commemorates two years since the devastating fire that ripped through the Colectiv night club in the capital city  where 64 people were killed and 100 wounded. The event is marked in Bucharest by the Colectiv Association through a procession called \u2018the March of Guitars\u2019 and two days of concerts. On October 30th, Radio Romania will broadcast a programme inspired from the tragedy, which is symbolically entitled \u201864\u2019. On this occasion, people are expected to voice their discontent for the belated court trial that has been postponed for the month of November, a decision that caused dissatisfaction among the victims\u2019 families. We recall that the club\u2019s owners and representatives of the company that had provided the pyrotechnic devices for the concert hosted by the club have been sent to court for manslaughter and violation of fire safety regulations. The former district mayor has also been sent to court for abuse of office along with employees from the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations for having failed to sanction the club for the absence of a fire safety certificate. We recall the tragedy sparked off large-scale anti-corruption rallies, which forced the Social-Democratic cabinet led by Victor Ponta to step down.  <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TENNIS <\/strong>Romanian Simona Halep, the world\u2019s best tennis player and the tournament\u2019s odds-on favourite is hankering for a win against Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in order to qualify for the semifinals of the WTA Finals in Singapore. In the other red group game, the already-qualified Danish Caroline Wozniacki will be up against French Caroline Garcia. Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic and US challenger Venus Williams have qualified from the white group.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong style=line-height: 1.6em;>AUTONOMY <\/strong>The temporary cancellation of Catalonia\u2019s autonomy is today voted on in the Spanish senate, after the government made a decision in this respect late last week. According to press agencies, the Senate is likely to give a yes-vote to article 155 on withdrawing Catalonia\u2019s autonomy. The article allows the central executive to assume the competences of a region unless that region complies with the legislation and constitutional provisions. The Spanish government sees the law as the only solution to the Catalan crisis, whereas the Catalan leaders believe the move would only fuel the crisis. In the meantime the regional Parliament in Barcelona is debating on a possible unilateral declaration of independence.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here for a roundup of domestic and international news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":75903,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[32616,29431,32722],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-102309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsflash","tag-catalonia","tag-colectiv","tag-elina-svotlina"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
