The European Commission said on Wednesday it had sent Romania a "reasoned opinion", asking it to change its laws on car taxation. The Commission’s communication is the final warning before it takes Bucharest to the European Court of Justice. EU warns Romania on car tax The Commission sent Romania its first warning in the spring, pointing out that its rules on car registration taxation were incompatible with EU rules because they discriminated against imported second-hand cars. Romania has not modified its legislation since then. "Under Romanian law, car tax [on imported used vehicles] is not in line with the actual depreciation of similar cars registered on the domestic market ", the Commission said. Brussels is also concerned that, as Romanian car registration tax is levied only once, imported used cars fall within the most heavily-taxed category. Bucharest has two months in which to comply with the Commission’s request if it is to avoid the possibility of being taken before the Luxembourg-based Court.
