The deal on agricultural matters would see €3.92bn allocated for Common Agricultural Policy supports and rural development, and around €800m in regional aid.
It would also allow Romania to protect within the EU traditional names of certain milk, yoghurt, butter-milk, cheese, salami, sausages, bread, pretzels, pie, and processed fruit products. It would also have three years to ensure 56 meat and dairy plants meet EU standards.
