Romania Reaches Agreement to End Protests by Farmers and Hauliers

The Romanian government has successfully negotiated an end to weeks of protests by farmers and truck drivers over high business costs.

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.
