IntMin Vela: Wheat export, allowed
Interior Minister Marcel Vela announced on Thursday that export of wheat and derived products is allowed. This is one of the provisions of Military Ordinance no. 9.
"Another important point of this ordinance concerns the prohibition of the export of wheat and its derived products, a prohibition that was specified and imposed in the previous military ordinance. By this ordinance, the articles prohibiting this export cease their applicability. Upon discussion at governmental level with the traders of cereal products, the perspective was achieved and the acquisition necessary to complete the state reserves was clarified, so that a topic that concerns the Government of Romania - food security is ensured until the next harvest. (...) From this moment on, I announce the producers and traders that this export is no longer prohibited," said Marcel Vela, at the Interior Ministry.
He added that the suspension of flights from and to Romania with several countries has been extended. "Today, I have signed and submitted Military ordinance number 9 for the approval and endorsement of Mr. Prime Minister Ludovic Orban. In this ordinance, we extended the suspension of flights from and to Romania with the following states: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey, Iran, Italy, France and Germany," said Marcel Vela at the Interior Ministry headquarters.
Vela warned, on Thursday, those desiring to come home for Easter that they will not stay in self-isolation, but in institutional quarantine, over 13,000 beds being available.
"We have available over 13,000 beds in quarantine - those who thought that the institutionalized quarantine is not applied anymore (...), I mention that the order of the [Health] minister refers to the definition of isolation, which has several stages. Those who perceived that they will come home for Easter and will stay in self-isolation have perceived it wrong,", said Vela on the occasion of presenting Military Ordinance no. 9.
