Romania's Senate registered bill B587/2026 on October 21, proposing a VAT exemption for essential hygiene products, including absorbent products used to manage urinary or faecal incontinence. The draft covers disposable and reusable products.
The official record lists five parliamentary sponsors and records the proposal as registered for debate. It does not show that the exemption has been adopted or taken effect.
In a separate statement published that day by AGERPRES, sponsor Dumitrița Albu described the products as necessities and called for government support. Her statement explains the proposal's aims; the Senate record provides its procedural status.
