President Basescu signed on Wednesday the decree naming Liberal Dan Motreanu as Agriculture Minister, the spokesperson in the Presidential administration, Adriana Saftoiu, announced.

Liberals officially suggested Motreanu as a solution on Tuesday, after the recent resignation of the former minister, Gheorghe Flutur, who joined the dissident Liberal group.

Dan Motreanu graduated a Literature faculty in Timisoara and followed classes in European Funds Management in 1998-1999, under the European Commission’s supervision.
