The European Commission approved on Wednesday the strategic plans of Romania and Bulgaria within the Common Agricultural Policy. Almost 15 billion euros will thus be available for Romania.
Romania's plan aims to improve farmers' livelihoods and their competitiveness. In addition to income support, over one billion euros will be allocated to investments in farms and processing units.
Romania uses about 40% of its budget for rural development, to encourage ecological practices in areas of high natural value, in order to protect biodiversity.
About 611 thousand ha of land will be subject to such practices. In order to maintain the attractiveness of rural areas in Romania, the plan will support the creation of over 12 thousand jobs, with financing for enterprises and infrastructure.
