He wrote on the Internet about his intention to use this time to build a solid agreement to support the economy and budgetary balance. The group supporting Ve\u015ftea has challenged in court the decisions through which the majority of the National Liberal Party wants to expel the dissidents. A court in Ilfov, southern Romania, has suspended the decisions made by the party\u2019s leadership. The court\u2019s ruling could temporarily freeze the expulsions planned for the upcoming Liberals\u2019 congress this Sunday. The PNL\u2019s central board has announced it will challenge the court ruling. In another development, the PSD has also postponed for Sunday their formal position on the potential Ve\u015ftea cabinet, depending on the measures assumed by the Prime Minister-designate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BRUSSELS<\/strong> Romania\u2019s President, Nicusor Dan, and the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have staged the first session of the coordination group \u201cFriends of Cohesion\u201d at leaders level, before the talks over the MFF multiannual financial framework \u2013 the head of the Romanian state has announced on Facebook. According to him, \u2018we are going to plead for an ambitious EU budget with enough resources for the cohesion policy and common agricultural policy, as well as for consolidating general competitiveness in the entire Union\u201d. For the 2028-2034 period the European Commission has proposed a multiannual budget of roughly 2,000 billion Euros, which includes an ample reform of the Union\u2019s main funding instruments. The proposal stipulates a 10% cut in the funds destined for the Common Agricultural Policy and the Cohesion Policy, a measure contested by a group of 17 member countries, Romania included. A week ago, the Cypriote presidency of the EU council came up with a new compromise alternative. The document keeps the cuts for agriculture and cohesion. The new proposals stipulate the reduction of the funds destined to economic competitiveness, defence and the Union\u2019s external actions. The future MFF (2028-2034) is also high on the agenda of the summer summit of the European Council currently underway in Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>GOAT PLAGUE<\/strong> The European Commission has banned Romania\u2019s exports of sheep and goat meat to other EU countries by the end of the year, Romania\u2019s interim Agriculture Minister, Tanczos Barna. Brussels decision came after cases of goat plague, also known as PPR, \u00a0had been reported in Mures county, central Romania, where there is a major risk of spreading the disease. The minister says the measure is very disproportionate according to the existing epidemiological situation and the economic major impact on the sheep-breeding sector in Romania. Barna says that other countries in similar situations aren\u2019t facing such severe measures. He explains that Romania has become the biggest sheep exporter in the EU, with record exports to markets outside bloc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPORTS<\/strong> Romania remains the main export destination for the ex-soviet, Romanian-speaking Republic of Moldova, as over 30% of its exports are directed to the market here. The commercial exports between the two countries last year reached roughly 4 billion Euros, 15% more than in 2024 and in the first four months of 2026, the Moldovan exports to Romania rose by 10%. At present, 40% of Moldova\u2019s exports to Romania consist of food products, such as sun-flower seeds, rape-seeds and wine, followed by bakery, oils, canned food, juices and jams. Non-food exports have totaled roughly 600 million Euros and consist of iron bars, furniture and electric cables. The data has been presented during the first edition this year of the \u2019Export Vision\u2019 programme staged by the Chisinau-based Agency of Investment.<\/p>\n<p>(bill)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TALKS Sunday is the new deadline set by Romania\u2019s Prime Minister-designate, Adrian Ve\u015ftea, to submit the ruling programme and the list of ministers in Parliament.
