A new bill was passed by members of the lower house of the Romanian parliament. According to him, supermarkets in the country will be obliged to sell more fruits, vegetables and meat from local production.
At least 51% of all goods in a store must be made in Romania, according to the new rule, and violators will pay hefty fines of between 11,000 and 12,000 euros.
The aim is to support Romanian producers, who find it difficult to compete with cheaper imported goods.
For the winter season, when traditionally Romanian markets are filled with imported products, traders in the country will be able to offer up to 30% local production, and the remaining 70% may be foreign products.
It is not clear just to what extent the bill to be adopted meets global standards for market competition.
The proposal was made by Ovidiu Dontu, a member of the ruling Social Democratic Party, who presented the plan for the lower house to vote.
However, Romanians themselves are divided over the new law.
Some of them say that they prefer foreign fruits and vegetables, which, although of lower quality, are cheaper, and so apples, strawberries and meat reach the table of most people, not that they are imported from Poland, Belgium and South Africa..
The Minister of Agriculture in our northern neighbor - Daniel Konstantin, believe that although well-intentioned, these measures will not give positive results for business and the economy in the country.
Of course, I would be happy to see only Romanian products in supermarkets. But this cannot be required by law, and in addition, Romania does not have the capacity to produce all the food it needs, the minister told the media.
Imported goods are also a serious challenge for Bulgarian producers, who find it difficult to compete with those from Western Europe.
