Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan underscored the need to consolidate the production and processing of agricultural products in Romania during a Wednesday's meeting with Christophe Hansen, the European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food, at the Government's seat.According to a Government's press release, the visit of the European official takes place in the context of negotiations on the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034.During the meeting, Prime Minister Bolojan pointed out that "there are significant deficits in certain sectors, such as pork production, but also in processing capacity, which makes Romania export raw materials and import finished products".The prime minister highlighted the importance of investments that support the diversification of production, the development of modern agricultural infrastructure and the association of local producers, in order to increase competitiveness on the market.In turn, European Commissioner Christophe Hansen presented the measures proposed to protect European farmers and support the development of rural areas, so that they become more attractive to new generations."The emphasis is on supporting small and family farms, stimulating young farmers, as well as supporting large farms, including through investments in modern technologies, such as irrigation systems," according to the press release.In this context, the prime minister stated that it is essential that the future Common Agricultural Policy remains balanced and benefits from an adequate budget, given that some member states are proposing to reduce European funds."He stressed that the rules for accessing funding must be realistic and adapted to the level of development of each state, in order to ensure the protection of farmers and effective access to available resources. Romania also believes that the cohesion funds and those dedicated to the CAP must remain distinct, having complementary roles," the quoted source informs.The package of proposals regarding the 2028-2034 Multiannual Financial Framework was published by the European Commission on July 16 and negotiations are set to take place over approximately two years.
