The bill, which doubled the punishment for tax evasion, was defeated in the Senate's committee for budget-finance.

Voiculescu said he could not understand how that committee could issue a negative report on such a bill.

Following this announcement, senator Ioan Ghise requested, on behalf of the Liberal Party, that the bill be sent back to the committee. His proposal was approved by the plenum.
