Denmark has increased from 32% to 62% the tax on oil companies in the North Sea and the money from higher taxes are used for upgrading the railway infrastructure.
Dan Voiculescu says that this decision can be a benchmark for debates in Romania. The measures applied by Denmark could be a model for any country that exploits exhaustible resources responsibly, writes Dan Voiculescu on his blog.
"The Danish model, which I welcome, could serve as a benchmark for several ongoing debates in Romania. A smart, fair decision, endorsement by the Parliament. A model, I believe, for any country which deals responsibly with the limited resources that nature has provided them with ", says Dan Voiculescu.
