The Government approved a draft decision that stipulates the list of food products that will be displayed on shelves by sellers in proportion of at least 50% of the linear length of the shelf, IPN reports.

Acting Minister of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment Ion Perju said the list was compiled based on requests made by the business community, including according to production criteria so as to fully supply the home market, in different periods of the year. The list contains a chapter – recommended period – that refers to season fruit and vegetables, but this is recommendatory in character.

According to the minister, the approval of this list will not limit the consumers’ choice of food products. The imported products will continue to be present on shelves in stores, while traders can choose the supplier of national products by establishing contractual relations that imply rights and obligations.
