Romania wants another mandate as Commissioner for Agriculture of the European Commission. It is perhaps the only issue on which the Prime Minister and the President agree. The current Commissioner, Dacian Cioloş says that his nomination cannot be addressed currently. That would require approval of the Office of Government in Bucharest and Romania should confirmation that it will get this portfolio.

At the working dinner of the members of the European Council nominations for Commissioners are not being made, Basescu said before leaving for Brussels.

If Romania will get the portfolio for agriculture, the official nomination of Ciolos will be taken to Brussels by Prime Minister Victor Ponta. Government leaders are the ones who appoint the candidate and submit the applications to the European Commission President.

For now, Dacian Cioloş is reserved in statements on the topic and said he expects negotiations to be conducted with Romania.

If Romania will not get the European Commissioner for Agriculture position, the Bucharest government will have to negotiate for another portfolio.
