The High Court of Cassation and Justice maintained, by its decision of 17 June 2020, the judgment under which several wind power companies had been granted by the court of first instance the annulment of Minister of Public Finance's Order No. 1210/2014 and of the Central Fiscal Committee's Decision No. 5/2014. This is a major decision of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, with a significant impact on the relevant companies, considering that the local authorities charged such companies with material amounts as building tax for the wind turbine towers under the aforementioned administrative acts which have now been annulled under a final decision. Five of the most important companies active in the renewable energy sector, legally represented by Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații, have submitted a motion for the annulment of Minister of Public Finance's Order No. 1210/2014 and of the Central Fiscal Committee's Decision No. 5/2014. Subsequently, other wind farm companies joined in these legal proceedings.
