The announcement was made by Prime Minister Vasile Tofan, who outlined the measures prepared to reduce the bureaucratic burden on small producers.
“We are creating a framework for legal home-based food production. In other words, home cooking. What we call ‘home-cooked food’ often ends up being illegal. Which is a bit absurd. We all eat home-cooked food, but when you want, for example, to serve this home-cooked food to others, you complicate your life with bureaucratic red tape,” said Vasile Tofan.
Another measure aims to simplify the process of setting up small food businesses. Producers in low-risk categories could start trading by simply notifying ANSA, without the need for prior approval from the agency.
“A small producer in a low-risk category can start operating simply by notifying ANSA. They no longer need approval from ANSA. So they can simply notify ANSA that they want to make artisan bread or some pastries. And they can start work simply by notifying them, without having to obtain approval,” explained the Prime Minister.
The authorities are also preparing a special scheme for small traders, which could allow them to operate without registering a limited liability company (SRL). To this end, ANSA is working alongside the Ministry of the Economy to identify the necessary solutions.
Another change announced concerns reducing the frequency of inspections for small producers, based on risk assessment.
The Prime Minister stated that the measures had been discussed with the acting head of ANSA, following a meeting with small producers, at which a deadline of 15 October was set for presenting solutions to the issues they had raised.
