Abstract: The dynamic of energy prices influences the entire economic activity, both at macro and micro level.

The aim of the paper is to present, using a descriptive approach, the level and the influence of fiscal policy on energy prices, the energy tax harmonization attempt and the consequences at macro and micro economy of the tax weight in the energy final price.
