The decision amends a normative act on the beneficiaries of EU food aid.
The aid scheme targets people on minimum guaranteed income, jobless people, pensioners whose monthly income does not exceed 400 lei (EUR88.5) and disabled people, said Zaharescu.
The Agriculture Ministry said in a press release Wednesday the number of food aid beneficiaries will increase by about 800,000 to approximately 3.2 million. (EUR1=RON4.5168)
