Romania has received the official agreement of the Turkish authorities to start exports of live cattle, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) announced on Friday.

“Following negotiations between the Minister of Agriculture Achim Irimescu and his Turkish counterpart Faruk Çelik, as well as the of the due diligence taken by the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA) to the similar institution in Turkey, the Romanian authorities have received on June 9, 2016 a letter from the Turkish side, revealing openness to unblock the imports of live cattle from Romania,” reads a MADR press release.

Negotiations have been conducted by the Ministers of Agriculture of Romania and Turkey on the sidelines of the Regional Conference of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) for Europe, held in Turkey (Antalya) during May 3-5, 2016.

In the next period, ANSVSA and the Turkish veterinary authority will seal the veterinary certification conditions for the export of live cattle.

Last year, Romania exported to the EU and third countries 53,817 tonnes of live cattle, cashing EUR 126.5 million, of which exports to third countries counted for more than half, namely 28,404 tonnes worth EUR 60.62 million, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

I am in late 50s, great age to become a philosopher! Yet, I am doing my job in journalism, trying to deliver clear and accurate information to our readers, be them expats in Romania or people living abroad and interested in the developments taking place here.
I worked for several important newspapers, attended a Reuters scholarship, had collaborations with Al-Jazeera and Intelstrat. As journalist, I had the opportunity to interview several Romanian ministers and the NATO Secretary General at the time Javier Solana.
Anyway, these are old stories, currently I focus on this news website and, together with my colleagues, I do my best to achieve our goals.
I hope most of our readers will continue to access our website. Keep in touch with Romanian realities! Several rounds of elections are ahead, the courts are expected to deliver some important rulings that may change the entire domestic spectrum. We’ll be here to keep you informed!
