A. STRATEGIC CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

1. Country and sector issues

  Romania is scheduled for accession to the European Union in 2007. Towards this objective the Government is actively working to meet EU requirements and obligations as laid down in the acquis communautaire (“body of the laws o f the European Union”). With agricultural and food legislation making up about half o f the acquis communautaire (“body o f the laws o f the  European Union”), one o f the major challenges for the Romanian Government is to create a competitive and efficient national agricultural sector that is in compliance with EU requirements. Recognizing this, the Government has accorded top priority to the agriculture and food sectors over the past few years and is working closely with EU, several EU countries, bilaterals and the Bank.
