Despite Bucharest officials' statements, Brussels scientific reports show the drought may have very severe consequences on short, medium and long term. You can now read a presentation of an extremely serious document proving beyond any doubt a very worrying state of things jeopardizing Romania's survival. In statistics terms, this is about a phenomenon Romanian authorities do little talking on or they just belittle it: the continuous decrease of Romania's agriculture production. It is despite the yearly predictions that have proved either amateurish or lying, given their intention to cool people down and send partners a very sweetened message. (...)
Satellites and mathematical patterns
The JRC (Joint Research Center) experts author this complete analysis accompanied by maps and statistical data. It is a prediction for the European production of cereals in 2007 that uses satellite teledetection and mathematical patterns simulating the growth of crops.
The question Romanian authorities should answer is why the lack of elementary precaution measures has once again caused the present state of things. Why haven't they contacted European institutions in the field for such prospective analyses that possess the appropriate detection and prediction procedures? We hope the information here will be an argument decisive for a responsible debate.
The question at stake is why the degradation has been allowed for and why has Romania got the greatest production losses in the entire EU, since the weather forecast hasn't been a mystery? This year's wheat production confirms it. The Romanian production's decrease is dramatic, although the 2005 wheat production in the EU is 2,3% superior to the average of the last 5 years. (...)
As far as the major cereal production is concerned, the corn is the only cereal providing Romania with a position such as the first before the last, as Bulgaria seems to be worst. (...)
The estimations on the 2007 production of sunflower, cole, sugarcane and potatoes are also pessimistic, because of great losses. Romania is one of the European states most harmed.
