Sugar beet growers demand payment of promised subsidies and give the government 10 days to respond.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
If the subsidies are paid, sugar beet growers will get money for each hectare they sow. The final decision depends on how much these measures cost the state budget. If there is no answer within 10 days, protests are possible.
What happened
The Sugar Beet Producers Association wrote to Eugeniu Osmochescu, Vasile Tofan and Radu Mustata that promised subsidies have not been paid.
