Romania senators decide: smoking in public places still allowed
Senators voted a supplementary report which eliminated from the ordinance an article stipulating that shops located at least 50 meters near hospitals or schools are not allowed to sell cigarettes.
The emergency ordinance aimed at modifying the law on preventing and counteracting the effects of tobacco consumption and rules that smoking should be banned in all closed public spaces. The executive's document was set up in compliance with EU norms and regulations.
