Over two thousand Romanian farmers are today protesting downtown Bucharest, primarily demanding subsidies for milk production and payment of 70 % of the subsidies for 2010 in advance, by the end of this year. Also, the farmers want a 50% slash in excises on fuels and electricity, an exemption from the lump-sum tax on farming companies and access to low-interest loans for investments in agriculture. The farmers also request governmental guarantees for the purchase of milk processing units.
