According to the parliament's press office, the bill providing for this measure was reviewed at a meeting of the Committee on Economy, Budget, and Finance and will be submitted to parliament for approval in the first reading. The legislative initiative was introduced by Serghei Ivanov, chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and the Food Industry. He notes that temporary licensing will prevent the negative impact on local farmers caused by massive imports of grains and oilseeds from neighboring countries, given that the current price of wheat on the domestic market is 1.5 lei lower than the price at the Port of Constanța. According to the document, applications for import licenses submitted by individuals and legal entities engaged in livestock farming, the production of oils and fats, flour, and grains, and ready-made feed for farm animals, will be reviewed by a commission composed of representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization, the National Agency for Food Safety, and representatives of professional associations. Import licenses will be issued free of charge. Persons who have obtained an import license will not be permitted to sell and/or export the imported goods. Serghei Ivanov proposes introducing a temporary licensing regime for the import of grains and oilseeds until December 31, 2027, while the government proposes establishing an import licensing regime for grains and oilseeds until October 31, 2026, with no possibility of extension. It is worth noting that a similar regime was also in place in 2024–2025. // 02.09.2026 — InfoMarket.
