livestock

Romania's Government has allotted over 1 billion lei (EUR230 million) for subsidies per head for sheep, goats and cattle, but will not increase the amount per head, despite the number of subsidized animals increasing by about 1 million heads since last year.

Drivers transporting livestock on a distance longer than 65 kilometers, and their companions, must hold, as of January 5, 2008, a certificate of professional competence drawn up in Romanian and English, to attest the holder’s graduation of training courses in the field of livestock transportation.
