Romanian farmers face challenges due to changes in EU agricultural funding, as part of the funds will now come from national plans. Presidential advisor Radu Burnete highlighted the difficulties in co-financing amid a 6% GDP deficit. He emphasized that negotiations for the future EU budget will be tough, and while Romania supports an ambitious budget, achieving it may be unrealistic. Burnete noted that allocated funds are affected by inflation, reducing their value compared to previous years. Proposed changes to payment mechanisms are still under discussion and not finalized.
