MEP: cuts to the EU budget will hit Romania hard

The Council of the EU has presented a new proposal, the adoption of which would reduce the 2028–34 EU-wide budget by 8 per cent compared with the European Commission’s draft, bringing it down to 1,622 billion euros. Among other things, this adjustment could drastically cut future support for the agricultural sector in EU member states.

budget cuts

According to calculations by MEP Victor Negrescu, the minimum level of support for farmers could fall from the 130 euros per hectare proposed by the European Commission to 90 euros per hectare. “These changes could widen the gap between the subsidies provided to farmers by EU Member States,” Agrointeligența quotes the MEP as saying. “Romanian farmers compete (with other European farmers) in the same markets and must be guaranteed a level playing field.”

For Romania, the consequences could be severe not only in agriculture, but also in rural development, the road fund, education and healthcare. This is because six out of ten public investments in Romania are funded by the EU.
