The money comes from the revenues earned from the privatization, registered in the State Treasury’s general account, Government’s spokesperson Ioana Muntean said.
The funds are lent without any interest and are due back by end 2010, and are aimed at providing the required sources for the direct payment scheme per surface, financed by the European Fund for Agriculture, for the farming year 2009.
‘Seventy percent of the financing came in 2009, from the pre-financing for the payments per hectare, and the remainder of 30 percent is cashed, now,’ Muntean stressed.
