Premier Dacian Ciolos made it clear on Thursday that it is not the Agriculture minister who sets the natural gas price nor does he draw up regulatory acts on industrial policies. Ciolos thus replied to a question regarding the fact that in the period during which he served as Agriculture minister he supposedly signed documents facilitating the cut of the gas price, thus favouring certain companies.
"Interesting how these things regarding my person are dusted off just like that, exactly in this period. It is a matter I have commented on when it was topical. (...) I was Agriculture minister back then and I don't think the Agriculture minister sets the gas price, or that the Agriculture minister negotiates or prepares regulatory acts aimed at industrial policies, the gas price included. It is natural that when someone asks you if you want cheaper soil fertilizers for farmers, gas-based chemical fertilizers ... it's normal for an Agriculture minister to be interested in creating the opportunity for farmers to access cheaper fertilizers," the Prime Minister pointed out in a press conference at the Victoria Palace.
