The European Commission does not agree to the project promoted by the Romanian authorities concerning the sale of land to individuals, said Achim Irimescu, secretary of state in the Ministry Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR), and he said that European officials will help us in drawing up a better document in that area. Achim Irimescu said: "Among other things, we were proposing capping the surface an investor would be allowed to buy at 100 hectares and requiring five years of agricultural expertise.
