Hello David. Many thanks for this. It is like honey to my hurt soul. We are going through a similar situation now to the one you described with your permissive act. It is for the farmers market EcoLocal. After 4 years, the lady sitting in the Economic office of Pretura suddenly has decided to make us eat shit and has found a obscure article in the law 231 which makes us apply for a licence at least 10 times a year, send her vendors lists every week, but not before ”coordinating” these with the municipal food safety department. Plus, they now want every market vendor apply monthly for permits and pay 105 lei/day which would amount to 8,500 lei a year to the mayors office who is spending 0 bani for the public service we have developed. So, this is completely undoable, which calls for either us to give up on the first and only farmers market in the country, or go beyond the local authority, challenge them in court, etc. They do not have a ticket system there, which means we are stuck with the same person, who we know had been bribed before by our competitors. Any tips would be appreciated. Tamara
