AGREEMENT

The PM of Romania Marcel Ciolacu and the representatives of farmers and carriers Friday reached an agreement ending the recent protests. On Monday, the PM’s office will set up an inter-ministry committee tasked with identifying the best solutions for the protesters’ demands. Farmers and carriers in Romania protested for 3 weeks against high business costs, low prices for produce, the import of cheap foodstuffs from Ukraine and the constraints introduced by the EU as part of its climate change action.
