ANALYSIS OF THE MEANING AND IMPACT OF SUBSIDIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOBACCO PRODUCTION IN MACEDONIA

Of course, it is necessary to comply with the common agricultural policy of the European Union, which implies a change in domestic legislation. More specifically, it is a matter of passing three key laws for harmonizing national policies with EU agricultural policies, that is, the Law on Direct Payments, the Law on Rural Development and the Law on Regulation of Markets.
