Under the current, valid until 2027, budget program of the European Union, as the European Commissioner noted, “we are obliged to support farmers from the EU member states, the resources to assist the candidate countries are extremely limited”.
However, according to some Logos Press interlocutors from among the officials of the “host country”, this does not mean that in the next two years we should not count on the financial assistance of the European Union in the process of adapting the agro-food sector of our country to the European realities. After all, for example, the EU has found funds to support the energy sector (consumers of energy resources) of Moldova in the process of “divorce” from Gazprom.
Probably, it makes sense for the Moldovan authorities to continue negotiations with the European Commission, at least on emergency financial support in the short term for strengthening the institutional base (state and public institutions) in agriculture, as well as for adapting the legislative and normative field of Moldova to the EU standards and directives.
