Florin Barbu cere asumare politică pentru exportul de animale vii în țări precum Arabia Saudită și Maroc • Newsweek România

Florin Barbu, the proposed Minister of Agriculture, advocates for Romania to politically commit to exporting live animals to non-EU countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco, despite EU restrictions. He argues that EU legislation does not apply to these countries and plans to discuss this with both the European Commission and the Romanian government. The European Commission recently extended a ban on exporting sheep and goats from Romania until December 2026 due to disease outbreaks, a decision criticized by veterinary authorities as disproportionate. Barbu received a favorable vote from parliamentary committees for his ministerial position.
