AID The European Commission has approved a 44 million euro assistance scheme for the cattle breeders in Romania. The government in Bucharest has proposed this support scheme against the backdrop of the war Russia is presently waging on Ukraine. The aforementioned scheme consists of direct grants aimed at offsetting the effects of the latest price hikes in energy, fuel and fodder and helping the farmers to overcome the financial difficulties caused by the present geo-political crisis. The aid, which doesn’t exceed 250 thousand euro per farmer, will be granted until December 31st this year.
