The money from the solidarity tax will come after June 25 and I think it is enough to pay all the receivables owed to the energy suppliers, said the relevant minister, Virgil Popescu, on Thursday.

“After June 25. So, when the money from the solidarity tax comes, both Petrom and Romgaz cover more than that difference in money. Obviously it will be paid… We come with a lack of money from last year (. ..) It has rolled and is being covered.(…) We pay the balances we have, obviously. At our Ministry of Energy, it is one billion and… I don’t know at the Ministry of Labor, but it is certainly one and a half billion, if I’m not mistaken, from the statements, at Petrom, about 900 million are at Romgaz, I think Rompetrol also has 200. So I think it’s enough money,” said the minister, in Mediaş, according to Agerpres.

Regarding the guide on the Modernization Fund, he stated that it is almost completed and will be launched in the debate next week.
