The spring shopping list at the House of Deputies includes 46 4x4 traction cars. The board of the House approved on Wednesday the renewal of the car park, as well as the rest of investments to be made in 2008. According to an interior document, the deputies can spend 9,148,138 RON (some 2.47 million euro), to buy 46 SUVs, two vans, a streetcar and other independent assets "required for personal activities". Thus, the list also includes 10 washing cars, a digital camera, a vacuum cleaner, a copy machine and air conditioning systems.

The SUVs will be driven by the very members of the Permanent Bureau, by group leaders and presidents of commissions.
