The results of these tests, presented on Wednesday in a press conference, will be sent immediately to the European Commission, the Minister of Agriculture Petre Daea announced.

The representatives of the ministry attending the press conference avoided to say what this data means and whether it is about a lower quality of the products sold in Romania but said they do not present any risk in terms of human consumption and the differences only indicate a lack of correlation between the labels in the Western and the Eastern Europe.

The Minister of Agriculture said that there will be no more double standard testing because there must be a system established at the European level in this respect and the tests cost.

The cost of the laboratory analyses amounts to 7,206 lei, plus the travel costs for the specialists, of 32,884 lei.

Tests have been made at European Commission’s request

Romania is the last of the Central and Eastern European countries that started examinations regarding the inferior quality of some food products sold in this region compared to those sold in the Western countries of the EU.

Before us, Bulgaria completed the tests and announced at the beginning of this month that seven of the 31 food products compared proved to be inferior to those sold in Western Europe.

„Certainly, this data concerns us. Double standards are a reality,” said Bulgarian Minister of Agriculture Rumen Porozhanov at a press conference held in Sofia.

During the explanations given by Minister Daea on Wednesday, he revealed that the comparative analysis has been made following a request of the European Commission, not the initiative of Romanian authorities.
