\npackage for the member states worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Over 500
\nbillion euros are made available to help workers, businesses and governments.
\nThe agreement was reached after talks in Brussels, which press agencies say were
\nmade difficult by the divisions between the northern nations, especially the
\nDutch, and the countries in the south of Europe, which were worst hit by the
\noutbreak and whose economies are more fragile. Italy and Spain have called for
\naccess to funds that they can spend as they see fit, while the Dutch insisted

\npackage also making available a consolidated credit line of 240 billion euros,

\nwork in the coming period. He explained these are employment contracts agreed
\nbetween Romanian citizens and foreign companies, such as from Germany, Italy,
\nSpain, Austria and the Netherlands, especially in the farming sector. Orban
\ncriticised, however, the manager of the Cluj Napoca airport, in the north-west
\nof the country, who did not inform the authorities about the departure of 2,000
\nseasonal workers to Germany on Thursday, which led to chaos on the airport and
\ninfringement of coronavirus restrictions. Flights due to leave today from Iasi,
\nin the east of the country, and supposed to take 400 Romanian workers to
\nGermany, have been cancelled. The measure was taken in keeping with a military
\ndecree banning assemblies in public spaces. The airport management had
\npreviously asked the security forces to help enforce social distancing rules to
\nprevent a situation like that in Cluj. <\/p>\n
