Romania: Farmers’ List of Demands Discussed with the Romanian Prime Minister

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This year subsidies for the agriculture sector have been disbursed later than what the initial schedule planned for and certainly later than farmers’ expectations. The new payment schemes, which required new software applications and supplementary testing, were the reasons most cited for these delays. Agricultural support, law of agricultural land sale, Romanian products advertising, fiscal measures, and labeling of Romanian products have been included in the list of topics Romanian farmers discussed with the Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos in August.
