Overview

• Hundreds of farmers and truck drivers in Romania ended their protests following a government agreement addressing their concerns over high business costs.
• The protests, which began three weeks ago, were sparked by low produce prices, rising costs, and EU climate change measures.
• Farmers and hauliers had been blocking traffic on national roads, causing significant disruptions.
• The agreement comes as farmers in other EU countries continue similar protests over similar issues.
• The Romanian coalition government's negotiation with the protesters aims to alleviate the financial pressures faced by the agricultural and transport sectors.
