The President of the Competition Council, Bogdan Chirițoiu, commented on the legislative proposal of USR to cap the price of bottled water at airports, gas stations, and train stations at 3 lei, emphasizing that it is a problem that people are trapped in spaces without alternatives. Chirițoiu mentioned an ongoing investigation against Otopeni Airport, related to tenders and excessive prices. He also emphasized that a legislative solution could solve the problem of high prices, especially at airports, where options are limited.
