Romania lifted wheat export restriction
Romania has lifted all export restrictions on wheat and other foodstuffs exports to non-EU destinations, Reuters informs.
"There’s a new military decree, number 9 ... an assessment was made, there are supplies for domestic consumption: all restrictions under Decree number 8th are now lifted,” said the country's Interior Minister Marcel Vela.
Earlier, Agriculture Minister Adrian Oros stated, that contracts for wheat exports concluded before the military decree banning grain exports to non-European countries entered into force on Apr. 10, are not terminated.
