Ciolos says he pleads for strong budget be maintained in agriculture

The current budget allotted by the European Union is enough generous to allow the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) function and I believe it is important we maintain a good budget in agriculture, the designated Commissioner for Agriculture Romanian MEP Dacian Ciolos said at the hearings in the specialized committee of the European Parliament (AGRI).

‘I believe I made myself clear in the answers to the written questionnaire for the European Parliament too. I believe the current budget will allow the CAP function and I believe we need to maintain a good budget for agriculture. I assure you I will come to the College of Commissioners with arguments to maintain an important budget for the CAP. We can’t build a robust policy in agriculture without a strong budget,’ the designated Commissioner said. (Financiarul)
