Abstract

This article discusses the major challenges in the field of environmental sustainability: the reorganization of taxes and reorder fiscal priorities. To propose a viable solution to address these issues presents a comparative analysis between two EU countries which shows that 80% of environmental taxes in Germany are linked to energy taxes, while in Romania the highest proportion of the total excise duty on fuels derived. Other potential areas taxable provide 10-15% of total revenue for the environment. Romania is the country with the lowest environmental taxes in Europe, and should consider gradual increase in these fees reduced performance reveals environmental taxes. This is one of the reasons why Romania, unlike Germany fails to promote effectively the goals of environmental protection and sustainable development. A double impact on environmental sustainability in Romania could increase revenue from environmental taxes in an environment of budgetary crisis.
