Abstract

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive insight into the major policy changes that influenced the Romanian agricultural sector prior to and after the country's accession to the EU in January 2007.It focuses on analysis of the volume and composition of national and EU agricultural financial support between 2002 and 2012.Preliminary findings show that as membership drew near, Romania increased its effort to provide farm support.With accession, the share of EU financial support has increased, particularly in the form of direct payments, whilst the contribution of national funds has decreased year by year, but remains much higher than the level prior to accession.
