Moldovan PM says debts to subsidies in agriculture for 2014 fully paid

Chisinau, 3 September /MOLDPRES/ - Prime Minister Valeriu Strelet today informed that the debts to the subsidies in agriculture for 2014 have been fully paid. He made the announcement after a meeting of the National Financial Stability Committee, the government's communication and media relations department has reported.

The prime minister specified that the arrears for subsidies had been included in the 2015 budget. At the same time, the debts for the compensations provided to agricultural producers, who were not able to export their fruits, had not been provided for in the budget. The government paid to farmers 170 million lei for the last year. Yet, given that applications were submitted, which demand losses' compensations by 40 million lei more, the rest of the money is to be identified after the state budget's rectification. 

"To correctly understand the process, we inform that the debts to subsidies have been fully paid. The debts for compensations are to be established following the budget's rectification," the prime minister added.
