"This year, three million hectares of land remained untilled (…) According to EU regulations, whether you till the land or not, the EUR100 per hectare subsidy is still granted," said Basescu in the conference "Partnership for economic growth in 2011," hosted by daily "Ziarul Financiar" and the Foreign Investors' Council.
The head of state stressed that leaving three million hectares of land untilled "almost strikes a blow at the economy".
"It is almost convenient not to till the land and receive EUR100 per hectare from the European Union. It is almost convenient," highlighted Basescu.
