The president said local administration representatives should make more efforts to get funds for small and medium-sized enterprises, which should use resources available in the rural sector.

"It’s vital that you give the people in the countryside the chance to make use of the resources generated by agriculture right where they live. It’s high time they brought to town directly the finite product – bread, and not wheat or milk,” Basescu said.

Intercommunity projects must be developed to obtain financing and to ensure local incomes, to make the rural environment independent from the budget assigned yearly by the Government, the president added.

"You shouldn’t depend on a minister’s or on local representative’s decision to obtain funds,” Basescu said. He added that rural development is necessary, as productivity is currently low.
