vegetables

Vegetables grown in Romania are safe for consumers, said Agriculture Minister Valeriu Tabara Monday, addressing the situation triggered by the E.coli epidemic in Europe, which has killed 22 people.

Curvy cucumbers and wonky fruit and vegetables will return to European Union markets unrestricted, according to a proposal of the European Commission to repeal standards for 26 types of fruit and vegetables in its “ongoing efforts to streamline and simplify EU rules and cut red tape".
