Similar actions have been taken in Iasi, north-eastern Romania, Timisoara in the west and Bistrita in the north-west. Members of the Employers\u2019 Association of the Romanian Accountant Entrepreneurs say that the introduction of some mechanism such as the e-invoice or the e-VAT will raise bureaucracy as people need to fill in many forms. Furthermore, the accountants have complained that the technical instruments made available by the Finance Ministry aren\u2019t functioning properly. The protest was also supported by travel associations and organisations in the hospitality industry as well as by the family physicians.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TAROM<\/strong> Romania\u2019s air carrier TAROM has announced that 10 of its flights on the Henri Coanda airport have been cancelled after 20 pilots, flight commanders, copilots and other crew members invoked health issues, which prevented them from taking off. The company has announced that some flights are to be rescheduled for tomorrow and that several hundreds of passengers, mostly foreigners, left on the airport terminals will get refunds. The company has refrained from describing the event as a strike but for the time being the reasons behind the action remain unknown. Representatives of the board of directors are expected to provide explanations at the Transport Ministry. \u00a0Among the flights cancelled are those to Beirut, Cairo, Budapest, Iasi, Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt. In this context, Romania\u2019s delegation, which was supposed to participate in the NATO summit in Washington, had to resort to a military plane.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>GROWTH <\/strong>The National Institute for Statistics (the INS) has revised up Romania\u2019s economic growth in the first quarter of the year, to 0.7%, from a prior estimate of 0.4%. Compared to the same quarter of 2023, the GDP registered an increase of 0.5% on the gross series and 2.2% on the seasonally adjusted series, according to provisional data the INS published on Monday. The country\u2019s budget for the current year is based on an economic growth of 3.4%.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CULTURE<\/strong>\u00a0Romanians and foreign tourists visiting Romania are increasingly interested in culture \u2013 said the Minister of Culture, Raluca Turcan. She specified that the number of people visiting museums, public collections, botanical gardens, zoos, aquariums and nature reserves increased in 2023 by more than 3 million, compared to 2022. Mrs. Turcan has appreciated the professionalism and dedication of all those in the cultural sector who manage to increase public interest in cultural events and activities, as confirmed by the latest figures of the National Institute of Statistics.<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PROTEST Hundreds of accountants and economists protested in front of the government building in Bucharest on Monday disgruntled by the government decisions regarding the digitalization of the fiscal administration.
