The floor group in the Chamber of Deputies of the opposition National Liberal Party (PNL) and leaders of the People's Movement Party (PMP) on Thursday took the first steps for the establishment of a committee to look into the management so far of the African swine fever in Romania, according to a press statement released by PNL national leader Ludovic Orban.
He says that countries such as Poland, Ukraine and Lithuania have managed to control the outbreaks (Poland - 99 outbreaks, Ukraine - 64, Lithuania - 45), while Romania, in just two months, there were 732 outbreaks.
Orban points out that the government is solely responsible for this serious situation, indicating that the government "has lost control over the situation and neglected the early warnings, and there is now a danger that the European Union will introduce the whole country in the restriction area, with extensive economic repercussions."
Submitting the draft decision on the establishment of the parliamentary inquiry commission for the management of African swine fever were PNL floor leader Raluca Turcan and PMP floor leader Eugen Tomac.
