DEBATES

The Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest debated the simple motion tabled by the opposition MPs against Agriculture Minister Petre Daea. They are blaming the minister for the insufficient European funds received for supporting the Romanian famers affected by the cheap grain imports from Ukraine. The motion’s signatories are also blaming Daea for the price hikes in the basic foodstuffs and the mismanagement of the crises caused by the swine and bird flues. The minister says though that all the allegations aren’t based on real figures and has given assurances that the Romanian farmers aren’t running the risk of not getting their subsidies this year.
